All Elite Wrestling will return to New York City for this weekend’s AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 from Louis Armstrong Stadium.
While there is a star studded lineup of highly anticipated matches, the company could be offering some surprises in the form of new signings to the promotion.
From former WWE stars making their way to the company to the latest talent to sign dual contracts, these signings will make their mark to make Double Or Nothing 2026 one of the most memorable events of the year.
Here are seven new AEW signings to potentially debut at Double Or Nothing 2026.
7. Killer Kelly
Earlier this year, several different names left TNA Wrestling during a transition period for the promotion following their move to the AMC Network.
Among those names was Killer Kelly, who had spent about four years with the company.
Known for her mysterious character and unique look, Kelly is someone who could become a valuable asset for All Elite Wrestling.
Following in the footsteps of her husband Myron Reed of The Rascalz, Kelly could be the latest free agent signing for AEW to show up at Double Or Nothing 2026 in NYC.
6. Priscilla Kelly
In May 2025, Gigi Dolin was part of the mass releases from WWE after spending three years with the promotion.
Dolin has since gone back to her real name of Priscilla Kelly since returning to the independent scene.
Becoming one of the busiest independent performers in the industry, PK has been making her mark in a multitude of promotions, such as Game Changer Wrestling and Wrestling Revolver.
Kelly has the experience, look and ability to be a worthwhile acquisition to add to the AEW women’s division, seeing her join her fiancee Zachary Wentz of The Rascalz in the company following a debut at the Double Or Nothing 2026 pay-per-view.
5. Volador Jr.
Over the course of 2026, there have been several names from CMLL who have signed dual contracts with All Elite Wrestling.
From Mascara Dorada and Hechicero to Persephone and Mistico, this has further bolstered the AEW roster in a string of key signings to kickstart off the year.
Following in their footsteps, Volador Jr. could be the next talent who has shown some signs that he might be the next CMLL star to sign with AEW.
After becoming the newest member of the Don Callis Family and challenging Bandido for the ROH World Title, Volador might show up at AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 to announce his signing with the company in front of the sold-out crowd in New York City.
4. Saya Kamitani
While CMLL and NJPW have seen several names from their roster and AEW signing dual contracts, STARDOM is the only partnered promotion that has not followed suit.
The top Joshi promotion in the world has a litany of stars who would fit in nicely and add a great deal to the AEW women’s division.
Among the names on the STARDOM roster, Saya Kamitani is someone who stands head and shoulders above the rest as the biggest star in the company.
The former World of Stardom Champion is set to make her U.S. debut for Major League Wrestling, but she could announce her proper introduction to All Elite Wrestling as the first dual contract talent from STARDOM at Double Or Nothing.
3. Charlie (Dakota Kai)
There was no other WWE release that shocked fans more in May 2025 quite like Dakota Kai.
The former Damage CTRL member had long been the most underrated and reliable in-ring worker in the WWE women’s division.
Since leaving WWE, Kai, now known as Charlie, was mostly inactive until making her in-ring return at EVE: Wrestle Queendom against AEW star Kris Statlander in March 2026.
Receiving a stamp of approval from both Statlander and Will Ospreay, Charlie might make her way to AEW and debut at Double Or Nothing 2026 where she could insert herself right in the mix of the women’s scene immediately.
2. Mick Foley
Back in December 2025, Mick Foley announced his intention to end his working relationship with WWE after the company’s association with the President Trump administration.
Immediately upon this announcement, many fans speculated that the WWE Hall of Famer could make his way to All Elite Wrestling in some capacity.
Then more recently, rumors and reports started to circulate that AEW had heavy interest in bringing Foley into the company in the near future.
With AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 taking place in Flushing, New York not far from where the legend lives, it would make a ton of sense if this pay-per-view was the site for Foley’s debut in All Elite Wrestling.
1. Ronda Rousey
At AEW Revolution 2026, Ronda Rousey shocked the world when she unexpectedly showed up at the pay-per-view and confronted “Timeless” Toni Storm.
The UFC Hall of Famer stated that she did this to spite her former employers at TKO and to promote her fight with Gino Carano.
Then on May 16, Rousey dominated Carano in her MMA return, defeating the legend in 15 seconds to potentially end her career in the sport.
Looking to put a bow on her pro wrestling career as well, Rousey could officially sign with AEW and show up at Double Or Nothing 2026 to set the stage for her in-ring debut or announce herself as the mystery assailant behind the attack on Storm following Revolution.
