AEW: All In Texas goes down this Saturday night and features a stacked card at the home of MLB’s Texas Rangers, Globe Life Field. It is an event that has been hyped for months and is set up to be, arguably, the promotion’s biggest show in 2025.
With such high expectations, there is sure to be surprise debuts and returns of missing AEW stars. Ahead of this weekend’s card, we look at eight wrestlers who could unexpectedly show up at the event.
Darby Allin
Darby Allin completed his dream of reaching the top of Mount Everest in the spring. Since then, he has been getting ready for his long-awaited in-ring return. Of the possible comebacks we could get this weekend, Allin appearing at AEW All In is very likely.

Isla Dawn
Isla Dawn’s release from WWE surprised many. Especially since her tag partner, Alba Fyre, was retained. While there have been rumblings that AEW boss Tony Khan doesn’t want to keep signing WWE cast-offs, a recent rumor suggested she is one former star the company is interested in. A debut at AEW: All In Texas is possible.
Britt Baker
Britt Baker has been MIA from AEW for eight months despite being healthy. Khan was asked about her status this week, and he made it seem like he wants to use her, but they just haven’t come up with any good ideas for her return. Maybe certain results at the event will lead to her immediate return on Saturday.

Elayna Black FKA Cora Jade
Former NXT star Cora Jade has stated publicly that she would be interested in heading to AEW. Of the various female talents recently released by WWE, she seems like a perfect fit for the competition. She is young, is a veteran performer, and could be the next former WWE star to have greater success with AEW.
Keith Lee
Keith Lee has been sidelined for a year and a half for mysterious reasons. While he has not gone public with his issues, the assumption is that it is health-related. He reportedly was backstage at an AEW event earlier this year. Could it be a sign he is nearing a return? While it is a long shot, Lee coming back would be a major surprise at AEW: All In Texas.
Bea Priestley FKA Blair Davenport
Another former WWE prospect who was released in the spring is Bea Priestley, FKA Blair Davenport. Khan has always seemed interested in signing international talent. The native of England is a rock-solid talent, and like Cora Jade, she is young at 29 years old and has a lot of untapped potential.

Eddie Kingston
Fan-favorite Eddie Kingston has been away for over a year as he slowly builds back after suffering a broken tibia, torn ACL, and a torn meniscus in 2024. He is reportedly closing in on a return and has posted videos of his rehab. Getting Kingston back in the mix and doing it at AEW: All In Texas would be a great surprise for the card.
Wardlow
Former TNT Champ Wardlow is another AEW star who has been sidelined for over a year. First, he was rehabbing an injury, but has been a healthy scratch for months. With the free time, he was recently cast as a gladiator for the American Gladiators reboot. However, filming for the show is over. Will that set up Wardlow’s return this weekend?
