There is less than two weeks away from the AEW All Out 2026 pay-per-view on Saturday, September 26 in Chicago, Illinous.
With the importance of this show from the NOW Arena, All Elite Wrestling could be bringing in some new free agent signings for this special event.
Considering this show will go head-to-head with WWE AAA Worlds Collide, AEW could make a significant splash by introducing some notable new names into the promotion.
Here are seven more potential free agent signings who could debut at AEW All Out 2026.
7. Dani Luna
After a two-year run with the company, Dani Luna decided to leave TNA Wrestling after requesting her release.
Outside of TNA, Luna has made a strong impression on the independent scene across the world.
In places like DPW and RevPro, Luna established herself as one of the most intense in-ring performers in all of wrestling.
Following recent reports of her potential arrival in AEW, Luna could debut at All Out 2026 and immediately cement herself as a threat in the women’s division.
6. Kay Lee Ray (Alba Fyre)
On April 24, WWE had its latest round of talent cuts with Alba Fyre being one of the notable stars released.
Since then, Fyre has once again become Kay Lee Ray and has returned to the independent scene.
KLR has showcased in a few appearances that she can still go toe-to-toe with the best on the indies.
After impressing in promotions like Pro Wrestling: EVE, Kay Lee Ray could find a more prominent role in AEW following a major debut at All Out 2026.
5. Charlie (Dakota Kai)
Another former WWE star who has returned to the indies is Dakota Kai.
After being released in 2025, Kai has since established herself back on the independent scene as Charlie.
Against the likes of Kris Statlander and Shotzi Blackheart, Charlie has displayed the skills that made her one of WWE’s most underrated female stars.
Debuting at AEW All Out 2026 could give Charlie the opening to immediately interject herself into the mix of the women’s division in a major way.
4. Michael Oku
Over the past two years, Michael Oku has remained as someone many fans believed could sign with AEW.
After showing the world that he could beat one of the best in the world in Will Ospreay, Oku has grown into one of the best pro wrestlers on the independent scene.
As the face of British independent wrestling, Oku is a former three-time RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion and a stalwart in several other promotions.
Considering his connections to Ospreay and others on the roster, Oku making a debut at AEW All Out 2026 would be an impactful way to make his name known right from his arrival.
3. Uhaa Nation (Apollo Crews)
Another recent WWE release earlier this year was former Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews.
At TNA Slammiversary 2026, Crews made his debut as his original ring name Uhaa Nation to battle Mustafa Ali and Rich Swann for the TNA International Championship.
While many fans thought he had signed, Nation made a one-off appearance and has since made his return to Dragon Gate in Japan.
With his legacy on the indies and in-ring ability, Uhaa Nation feels like a better fit in AEW than anywhere else and could see him get the instant spotlight with a debut at All Out 2026.
2. Kairi Sane
One of the most mentioned names for a potential free agent signing for AEW as of late has been Kairi Sane.
Since her WWE release in April, all eyes have been on where Sane might head to next.
Recent reports have confirmed that Kairi has been in talks with All Elite Wrestling.
With all signs pointing to her signing, it would make sense to have Kairi make her debut at the AEW All Out 2026 pay-per-view in Chicago.
1. Ilja Dragunov
There is no bigger free agent right now in all of wrestling than Ilja Dragunov.
The former United States Champion decided to leave WWE when his contract expired in August.
This has led to many fans and AEW stars wanting to see “The Mad Dragon” make his way to the company somewhere down the line.
Dragunov signing with AEW would be huge and feels like someone who can instantly become a top star on the roster with a meaningful arrival at All Out on September 26.
