AEW All Out will emanate from Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida, on September 5, 2020.
MJF and Jon Moxley's AEW World Championship match will headline AEW All Out 2020 alongside what should be an entertaining "Mimosa Mayhem Match" between Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy.
AEW does have a history of signing former WWE names to their brand. When Jon Moxley first made his AEW debut, fans saw that as a genuine surprise. Even recently, stars like Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder) and Taynara Conti appeared on Dynamite after being released by WWE, so it is possible that the same could happen at AEW All Out as well.
Here are seven former WWE Superstars who could show up at AEW All Out 2020.
#7: Brock Lesnar could appear at AEW All Out 2020
It wouldn't be fair if Brock Lesnar wasn't mentioned in this article, so let's get over with it right away. The chances of The Beast Incarnate signing with Tony Khan's promotion may not be the most realistic outcome, but it is certainly possible.
Since both Lesnar and WWE recently failed to agree on the terms of a new contract, negotiations have paused as of this moment. This makes Brock Lesnar available to sign outside of WWE, and that includes promotions from both the MMA and pro wrestling world like UFC and AEW, respectively.
In the near future, WWE could make Lesnar an offer that he can't refuse since it is possible that The Beast Incarnate might be sitting at home to ride out the COVID wave.
But in the off-chance that Brock Lesnar makes an impulsive decision and surprises everyone by joining AEW, it may certainly give Tony Khan's promotion the proper mainstream attention it deserves.
Chris Jericho might be AEW's most popular star when it comes to mainstream appeal, but Lesnar is the kind of talent who can instantly add a "big fight" atmosphere to any match. There are a few stars in the business currently who have the pulling power that Lesnar has and AEW could certainly do with someone like him.
When speaking to Sportskeeda's Gary Cassidy recently, Jericho immediately played down the possibility of Lesnar appearing at AEW when he was quizzed about it. But as they say, stranger things have happened in wrestling.
#6: Melina could appear at AEW All Out 2020
AEW needs to strengthen its women's division sooner than later. Hikaru Shida is scheduled to face the NWA World Women's Champion Thunder Rosa at AEW All Out, which is an exciting development. Although Shida is a strong champion, she needs even stronger opponents to stay relevant.
A veteran star like Melina can add a lot to the current AEW women's division. The last time Melina appeared on WWE TV was during the RAW Reunion episode in 2019. The former two-time Divas Champion signed with NWA later in the same year.
Tony Khan and Billy Corgan (NWA President) seem to have developed cross-promotional accordance at the moment, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone like Melina could also show up at AEW All Out.
#5: Levis Valenzuela (fka No Way Jose) could appear at AEW All Out 2020
On April 15, 2020, No Way Jose was released along with various other WWE Superstars and backstage talent as part of budget cuts stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since then, Jose released a video debuting a new look as well as a fresh perspective on his post-WWE career. It was inspired by EC3's 'Control Your Narrative' videos, as you can see above.
As things stand, No Way Jose is still a free agent and it is not known where he will end up now, but there is always a possibility that he could show up at All Out.
#4: Erick Redbeard (fka Erick Rowan) could appear at AEW All Out 2020
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Erick Redbeard addressed rumors of him going to AEW. The former WWE star who was a part of the Wyatt Family got released from the company back in April, alongside some other talent already mentioned in this article. Now, could he possibly appear at AEW All Out?
The most obvious direction for him in AEW would be to get involved with or against the Dark Order, led by another former member of the Wyatt Family, Brodie Lee (fka Luke Harper in WWE).
Although Erick mentioned that he doesn't want to interfere with Brodie's path, making an appearance at AEW All Out is certainly a possibility. Also, let's keep in mind that pro wrestlers often deny rumors to throw fans off their scent.
#3: Chris Hero (fka Kassius Ohno) could appear at AEW All Out 2020
During April 2020, Kassius Ohno was released by WWE. A few days later, Ohno seemingly confirmed this on Twitter and posted a video that signaled the return of Chris Hero.
Not only is Hero one of the best professional wrestlers in the world, but a logical reason why he would be a good fit for AEW is that he already has a connection with one of their most charismatic stars at the moment.
Chris Hero is responsible for training Orange Cassidy, and there are a number of ways the former NXT star could influence the Mimosa Mayhem Match if he were booked for this year's AEW All Out event.
#2: Matt Rehwoldt (fka Aiden English) could appear at AEW All Out 2020
Former WWE star Aiden English teased a jump to AEW through a recent tweet, which clearly shows him and Brodie Lee in the same picture. The above picture may indicate that Matt Rehwoldt could get involved with Brodie Lee's Dark Order faction at AEW All Out.
Matt Rehwoldt achieved some praise as Aiden English when 'Rusev Day' was a big gimmick in WWE, but he didn't exactly reach his full potential on the main roster. English was on commentary before WWE released him as part of the budget cuts. A multi-dimensional star like English could add a lot to the current AEW roster.
#1: CM Punk could appear at AEW All Out 2020
It goes without saying that fans won't stop clamoring for a CM Punk return until it actually happens. The last time he had anything to do with the pro wrestling world was as a special contributor and analyst on WWE Backstage, hosted by Booker T and Renee Young.
Sadly, FS1 announced that the production of the show would be suspended back in June.
CM Punk answered an AEW related question on Twitter a few days ago and named Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) as potential opponents if he would ever have a match for Tony Khan's promotion.
They say that a pro wrestling return is the best when no one expects it, so for Punk to return in the pandemic era -- possibly at AEW All Out -- would certainly be an unexpected surprise for the fans.
