AEW has sold over 60,000 tickets for AEW All In on August 27 already as of this writing.
This is an incredible early gate on an international market in the most famous stadium in the world: Wembley.
An occasion like this calls for a night full of surprises and a celebration of English and European wrestling.
What incredible names could Tony Khan book that aren’t currently in AEW? Let’s find out – some that are actually quite likely, and some that would just be fun to see.¨
WILL OSPREAY
Beloved. Hated, but undisputedly a top star of the industry: Will Ospreay.
It would be a shocker if he isn’t part of AEW All In in the United Kingdom.
Ospreay is not part of the AEW roster, but he is wrestling for their partner: New Japan Pro Wrestling.
He could easily show up and well… isn’t Orange Cassidy a champion these days?
Well, there you have it. Orange Cassidy, AEW International Championship Open Challenge.
Need I say more?
FLASH MORGAN WEBSTER & MARK ANDREWS
The former NXT UK Tag Team Champions are a regular tandem on the current British indie scene.
Their in-ring style would fit right into the fast-paced nature of All Elite Wrestling’s tag team division.
This does not have to be a one-time deal, but even it was – the subculture needs their heroes in Wembley.
Speaking of heroes…
CHRIS HERO
For some reason AEW and Chris Hero have not gotten together yet.
The man formerly known as Kassius Ohno has been flying under the radar since his exit from WWE in 2020.
In fact, he has not wrestled a single match in three years. About time this changes!
A staple of European wrestling, despite being American, this would be the biggest debut imaginable.
Hero is not only a name tied with the history of AEW’s sister promotion ROH, he was also a long-time tag partner of their champion: Claudio Castagnoli.
He currently serves as the matchmaker for West Coast Pro Wrestling, just another field he’s great at.
He is a legend of the industry and could add so much to AEW and ROH.
DOUG WILLIAMS & DAVEY BOY SMITH JR.
This one just makes sense.
When you speak of legends, The British Bulldog must be the biggest one in British wrestling history.
He was the main draw when WWE held SummerSlam 1992 in the Wembley Arena.
His son is Davey Boy Jr and he teams with another UK legend in Doug Williams from time to time.
In the summer of 2022 they won the NWA World Tag Team Championship as the Commonwealth Connection.
Both are currently grinding in the independent wrestling scene around the world.
Tony Khan could underline the historic magnitude of All In with this booking.
ZACK SABRE JR.
It’s ZSJ!
About time this happens.
He could even show up before that at Forbidden Door in June, where he wrestled Claudio Castagnoli last year, who replaced Bryan Danielson.
Perhaps the most gifted technical wrestlers in the world – Bryan Danielson vs Zack Sabre Jr – should be saved for All In rather than Forbidden Door this time around.
It would be a masterstroke.
Danielson also built his name in Euro-wrestling in the 2000s and a clash between those two icons in front of a European crowd is what turns All In into an all-magical all-elite event.
Name a bigger name in British wrestling in the world right now outside of AEW and WWE….oh wait…
MERCEDES MONÉ
With 60,000 tickets sold All In has already generated a whole lot of… Moné.
And wherever there’s green and the dollar signs are stacking up, Mercedes is not far behind.
The former IWGP Women’s Champion has yet to make her debut in AEW.
Could you imagine that pop when women’s wrestling’s shiniest star goes all in at All In and challenges Jade Cargill for her TBS Championship?
