Throughout 2025 AEW’s Don Callis has banked on increasing the number of talent signed to his “Family”.
With the AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada, the IWGP World Champion Konosuke Takeshita and the TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher in his ranks, the faction is now the most powerful group in the company.
Callis has also suffered some losses to his group however, with the untimely injury of Wardlow, and Andrade’s much discussed contract situation, so it looks like there could still be spots to fill within the group.
Here are five new Don Callis Family signings.
5. Kamille
Kamille has not been seen on AEW TV since she was split from Mercedes Mone and attacked by a mysterious figure backstage almost a year ago.
While her status and future in the company has been unclear since that point. Tony Khan may simply be waiting for the right way to factor her back into his plans.
Surely joining the largest faction in All Elite Wrestling should ensure the mysterious attacker can not reach her again, and on top of that, she would also be the first woman to join the faction.
Kamille’s dominance fits right in with the powerhouse wing of The Don Callis Family. She is called Brickhouse after all.

4. Duke Hudson
Duke Hudson, who goes by Duke Hanson on the independent scene, was always a promising talent in WWE.
However, after the end of Chase U, the company decided to cut the talented Australian. Since then, Hanson has been making waves outside the company, using social media to help build his brand outside WWE.
While there hasn’t been any word on interest from AEW, the former NXT Tag Team Champion might be what Don Callis is looking for in order to make his family even more complete.
Not only does Hanson have experience being the muscle of a faction, but he also knows how to go to war for them, which is exactly what Callis needs.

3. Giovanni Vinci
We have not seen Giovanni Vinci show up anywhere since his WWE release in February, with no updates emerging on his future in the wrestling business.
Vinci is an incredible athlete and excels as the cocky, rich Italian playboy character. Something Don Callis can certainly relate to, especially the Playboy part.
Undoubtedly, Giovanni Vinci would be the perfect fit for The Don Callis Family, bringing their arrogance and athleticism together like nobody else.
Maybe you could even claim that Giovanni Vinci is the entire Don Callis Family rolled into one person. But he might not be the only German-speaking person with potential to join.

2. Oro Mensah
The former member of Meta-Four in NXT: Oro Mensah has recently been a recent guest at several ROH tapings.
Potentially, Tony Khan or Don Callis himself already noticed that there is huge potential with the Swiss superstar.
Oro once chances at NXT championship gold for a reason, and he might be suited to join RPG Vice and go after the Trios Championship.
Whether the Don Callis Family wants Oro to join simply comes down to the fact: Do you wanna bank on Mensah? The answer should be yes!

1. Dakota Kai
Fans around the world have been clamouring to see Dakota Kai back in a wrestling ring.
The former member of Damage CTRL has been a free agent since her WWE release in May, with little news on where the New Zealand star could sign with next.
Kai has everything to become an immediate threat to either the AEW Women’s World Champion or TBS Champion and should be seen as a high priority signing for Tony Khan.
This Family only really becomes a family with King Kota joining their ranks, and a female addition to the faction is certainly overdue.
