Already the biggest faction in AEW, the Don Callis Family could easily pick up several new members given the talent in the locker room.
From those departing seemingly abandoned stables to an impending return – there are some incredible options for who could be next to join Don Callis in his heel stable.
Here are six more AEW stars that could join the Don Callis Family.
6. Daniel Garcia
One prospect to join the Don Callis Family might be Daniel Garcia.
While he has had a recent partnership with Nigel McGuinness, the duo could be falling out of favor with one another.
At AEW Forbidden Door 2025 it did seem as though McGuinness was irritated to a degree by Daniel Garcia’s attempts to support during Nigel’s IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match against Zack Sabre Jr.
Potentially headed for a heel turn, joining the Don Callis Family has become a proven way to note to the AEW audience that you are evil.

5. Anthony Bowens
Since breaking away from his former tag team partner Max Caster, Bowens has stayed loosely affiliated with Billy Gunn – until recently.
Perhaps now on the verge of having his character break out and take a different tone, Bowens could join the Don Callis Family.
Adding an additional element of grit to his overall presentation, Bowens could benefit from the team but also – provide an added benefit.
Dynamic in the ring in singles action or in tag team or trios action, Bowens has a lot to bring to the Don Callis family table.

4. Big Bill
Since it seems that Chris Jericho may not be returning to AEW and his Learning Tree gimmick in the near future – Big Bill may need a new role.
Possibly looking for a second try in a dastardly faction, Big Bill could greatly benefit from an official alliance with Don Callis.
Similarly to Kyle Fletcher, Callis could draw the actual disdain of the audience in a way that the Bill alone cannot.
With impressive size as well as athleticism, Big Bill could launch to a new level as a part of the group.

3. Bryan Keith
Another AEW star that still has a lot of untapped potential but that was marooned by the dissolution of The Learning Tree is the Bounty Hunter Bryan Keith.
Perhaps able to use an affiliation with the Don Callis Family to reinvigorate his character, he could return to a closer style to his original presentation in AEW.
Even able to bring a grittier and more vicious version of his independent wrestling character to the group, Keith has versatility.
With a ton of untapped potential, Bryan Keith is certainly set for something big in AEW.

2. Killswitch
Since returning to AEW, Killswitch resumed his alliance with the now Matriarchy, led by Mother Wayne with Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian.
However after their AEW Forbidden Door match against Christian Cage and Adam Copeland seemed to note some obvious disrespect towards the former Luchasaurus.
Potentially looking for a new home for his talents, Killswitch could definitely be an asset to the Don Callis Family.
Cementing himself as a complete heel, Killswitch and Wardlow together could be a monster tag team.

1. HOOK
While he has been off of TV since April, it seems that HOOK is headed back to AEW in the near future.
Potentially able to bring a new side to his character, he could align with the Don Callis Family on his return.
Having been replaced by Powerhouse Hobbs in The Opps, HOOK could be looking to find a stable to support his quest for revenge.
While it seems quite improbable since there are already return vignettes airing teasing a future return of HOOK, anything is possible in AEW.
