AEW has been on a heater as of late thanks in large part to the number of new talent the company has added to its roster to start 2026.

From The Rascalz and Lena Kross to Persephone and Mistico, these new signings have helped to bolster the roster and brought a lot of excitement to the landscape of the company.

With the promotion coming off the heels of AEW Revolution 2026, there could be some new stars making their arrival on the Dynamite following the pay-per-view.

Here are seven new signings to potentially debut on AEW Dynamite.

7. Tehuti Miles

Former WWE and current AEW star Ashante 'Thee' Adonis (Tehuti Miles)

In August 2025, Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis announced that his WWE contract had expired, ending his three-year second run with the promotion.

Adonis, real name Tehuti Miles, would quickly sign with All Elite Wrestling shortly thereafter without much fanfare and reporting.

Recently, Miles made his Ring of Honor return during their latest taping on March 1.

While he might make ROH his new home, AEW could bring Miles into the fold where he might reunite with his former Hit Row stablemate Swerve Strickland as it looks like he may be assembling a new faction.

6. Shayna Baszler

At AEW Revolution 2026, Ronda Rousey made her debut with the company and reunited with Marina Shafir by confronting her rival Timeless Toni Storm to cause a distraction, allowing her friend to punch out the former AEW Women’s World Champion.

Looking at Rousey arriving in All Elite Wrestling, the company could call upon another member of the MMA Four Horsewomen to come into the promotion.

After being released by WWE in May 2025, ‘The Queen of Spades’ Shayna Baszler has only made limited appearances on the independent scene and has even been seen on the company’s programming on NXT.

Baszler signing with AEW and making her debut on Dynamite could see her helping Shafir to finally defeat Storm in their No Holds Barred match, bringing the Four Horsewomen to the company moving forward.

5. Bishop Dyer

Back in January, Bishop Dyer surprised many fans when he competed in a dark match ahead of an AEW Dynamite TV taping.

The former Baron Corbin has stayed very active in the wrestling world since his WWE departure in November 2024.

Making Major League Wrestling his new home, Dyer has been making his mark in the company and is one half of the current MLW World Tag Team Champions.

With all his friends in All Elite Wrestling like Billy Gunn, Paul Wight and MJF, it would make a lot of sense for Dyer to make his official debut and gain a consistent role on television moving forward.

4. Donovan Dijak

Speaking of Bishop Dyer, he has formed a partnership with Donovan Dijak known as the Skyscrapers in MLW.

Winning the MLW World Tag Team Championship, Dyer and Dijak have made for a dominant force that have run roughshod over anyone in front of them.

Ever since leaving WWE in 2024, Dijak has been someone mentioned as being the perfect person to add to the AEW roster due to his impressive in-ring ability and versatility.

Dijak signing with AEW and making his arrival on the March 18 Dynamite would be interesting for all of the tantalizing matches that he could deliver against the likes of Will Ospreay, Konosuke Takeshita and Kenny Omega.

3. Killer Kelly

In January 2026, Killer Kelly announced her departure from TNA Wrestling, ending a three-year run with the company.

Based on her look and charisma, Kelly has always been someone that has stood out from the pack wherever she appears.

Kelly has plenty of experience from her time in TNA and on the independent scene that could help the AEW women’s division right now.

Considering her husband Myron Reed of The Rascalz is now part of the AEW roster, it would be logical to see Kelly sign with the company, making her debut on Dynamite to make an immediate impact.

2. Priscilla Kelly

In May 2025, Gigi Dolin was part of the latest slate of talent cuts from WWE, ending a four-year stint with the promotion.

Since then, Dolin has wasted no time returning to the independent scene as Priscilla Kelly, working for multiple companies around the world.

Kelly has always had a unique look and personality that seems to shine no matter which promotion she has been in.

With her fiancée Zachary Wentz of The Rascalz signing with AEW at the start of 2026, Priscilla Kelly might want to follow suit and make her arrival on AEW Dynamite where she could play a crucial role in the women’s division.

1. Charlie (Dakota Kai)

At the EVE: Wrestle Queendom VIII event, Kris Statlander defeated the returning Charlie to retain the EVE International Championship.

Charlie, better known as Dakota Kai, was released from WWE in May 2025 in one of the most surprising talent cuts in recent memory.

Since then, Charlie has stayed away from the limelight and had not stepped back into the ring until this match for EVE.

After impressing the fans as well as Will Ospreay, Charlie may have enough support to get an opportunity to join the AEW roster and make her debut on Dynamite where she could immediately thrust herself into the spotlight in a major way.
