From Christian to Kurt Angle, Five Superstars Who Could Make a Shocking Debut at AEW Revolution

Will an American hero step into an AEW ring?

On Instagram, former WWE Champion Kurt Angle teased a return to wrestling. This immediately sparked rumors that the Olympic gold medalist is the surprise debutante at Revolution.

Angle hasn’t wrestled since WrestleMania 35, and his match with Baron Corbin was a bitter disappointment. Can Kurt return to the ring and end his career on the right note?

Is Captain Charisma in search of another challenge?

Having only recently returned at the Royal Rumble, it seemed like Christian had a last WWE run left in him. His performance in the Rumble was nothing short of amazing. However, it seems like his run with the WWE has ended.

After contract talks fell through, the former World Champion is open to wrestle in any other promotion. Will he shock the world by going to AEW and reuniting with his fellow Canadian superstars Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega?

Hardy Boyz Reunion: AEW Edition

First WWE, then TNA, after that ROH and now possibly AEW. The Hardy Boyz have teamed up in the biggest promotions in the world, and we might see them in AEW as well.

“Brock Lesnar goes where Brock Lesnar wants to go.” These were the words of the Beast’s advocate, Paul Heyman. The more appropriate sentence would’ve been, “Brock Lesnar goes where Brock Lesnar gets paid more.”

The Rainmaker comes to AEW

When Paul Wight mentioned a superstar who is ‘Hall of Fame worthy’ will debut at AEW, Kazuchika Okada is one wrestler that crossed many fans’ minds.

With 21 five-star matches, a 720-day reign with the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, and having main-evented at Madison Square Garden, Okada just about fits the bill.

With the Forbidden Door open, AEW will not hesitate to bring the Rainmaker to Jacksonville. Okada’s first round loss to Shingo Takagi in the New Japan Cup frees him up for a potential appearance at AEW Revolution.
