6 Former WWE Stars To Debut At AEW All In Texas 2025

With AEW All In Texas less than one month away, there are sure to be some surprises set for the big stadium show and possibly even a debut.

While there are a host of free agents that could possibly fit the bill, there are a host of former WWE stars that seem likely to eventually pop up in AEW – so why not at All In Texas?

Here are six former WWE stars that could debut at AEW All In Texas 2025.

6. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson

After it was revealed that Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were poised to become free agents again, AEW fans immediately began to wonder if they wouldn’t make a return to a Tony Khan owned company.

While the duo have wrestled since departing WWE, one appearance was particularly notable.

Gallows and Anderson teamed with the Young Bucks in NJPW in May, cementing that a storyline alliance still exists between the group.

At least appearing in a crossover capacity, it would make sense to see Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows return to AEW for a big show like All In Texas.

5. Bishop Dyer (Baron Corbin)

After having spend over a decade in WWE, it was revealed that the company elected not to re-sign Baron Corbin to a new contract.

Quickly re-branding himself with a new moniker, the industry veteran definitely picked up indie bookings quickly.

Bishop Dyer has made notable appearances at independent promotions like GCW and Maple Leaf Pro, he also recently won two gold medals at the 2025 Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championships.

It would certainly make headlines for a former WWE Champion like Bishop Dyer to find himself debuting at AEW All In Texas.

4. Cedric Alexander

With the rest of the former Hurt Business now in AEW and going by the updated name – the Hurt Syndicate – it certainly would seem likely that Cedric Alexander may join the group soon.

Since Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin are currently the AEW World Tag Team Champions, perhaps they will require a little help from their old friend in order to retain them at AEW All In Texas.

While there continues to play out an on-screen drama regarding MJF having joined the Syndicate, it would definitely make a lot of sense for the storyline to be leading up to Alexander returning as the true third in the stable.

Potentially paving the way for a singles feud between MJF and Bobby Lashley, Cedric Alexander’s AEW debut could end up being a catalyst to the stable turning on the former AEW World Champion.

3. Elayna Black (Cora Jade)

Already having been announced for more than a dozen independent dates thus far, the former Cora Jade has a busy post-WWE summer lined up.

However, on a recent appearance on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Black noted that she would enjoy returning to AEW one day.

Having previously competed in the company before being signed to WWE, Black had two matches on AEW Dark in 2020 – one losing to Red Velvet and another where she teamed with Leyla Hirsch in a losing effort against Red Velvet and Brandi Rhodes.

Making a big surprise debut at AEW All In Texas would be a very legendary way for the star to make her presence in the AEW women’s division known.

2. Karl Fredericks (Eddy Thorpe)

Since Thorpe was released from NXT, he presumably has returned to his former in-ring name, Karl Fredericks.

After previously appearing in NJPW, Fredericks has been absent from in-ring work since departing WWE whereas others have hit the ground running booking independent dates.

Perhaps Fredericks has already got a next step planned out that doesn’t require him to zig-zag across the country this summer – or he’s taking some well deserved time off.

Either way – Fredericks would make a fun surprise debut at AEW All In Texas, able to fit into a few different storylines as an interloping newcomer.

1. Bea Priestley (Blair Davenport)

While she went by Blair Davenport in WWE NXT, formerly Bea Priestley has already wrestled for AEW in the past.

With a long history of friendship with Toni Storm, who she recently described as her “sister”, Priestley has plenty of ways to immediately make a mark.

The pair were last set to meet back in 2019 in STARDOM, but WWE nixed the match after it was noted that Priestley was signed to AEW while Toni Storm was still signed to WWE.

A surprise return from Bea Priestley could be Timeless Toni Storm’s best shot at fending off Mercedes Mone who is out for her first AEW Women’s World Championship win at the big event.
