I'd laugh if Big Show wasn't talking about a wrestling Hall of Fame and instead a NFL one since Cody mentioned in a recent media call about Pat McAfee having talks with AEW which McAfee later denied.
McAfee has been someone who drew a lot of praise by Triple H and NXT/WWE officials for his work in NXT and his random disappearance from NXT has been a bit puzzling. |

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I will mark the fuck out of it's Cena. But I highly doubt it'd be him. One mention of it to Vince and there'd be a fleet of WWE branded Brinks trucks on Cena's front yard.
Lesnar is too expensive for how limited he would be. Kurt Angle is too old. So is Foley. Unless they're bringing in and hyping on air personalities. Punk would make the most sense and create a ton of buzz. Paige would be interesting. But I don't think she can get cleared. So it would be an odd signing. Feel like it has to be an in ring act. Not a manager or valet or whatever. |

Also, it's the "biggest scoop ever". So maybe it's a giant wrestler none of us know about or thinking of. Big Cass maybe lmao.

Cena signing a deal with AEW would be the modern day version of Hogan leaving for WCW tier in terms of shock and holy shit moment even if Cena's actual usefulness in the ring is very limited these days due to his movie and entertainment career.

AEW does do a really good job of protecting their performers and keeping them featured without actually wrestling. For instance, Darby Allen and Team Taz have gotten a shit ton of tv time but maybe 1 or 2 matches since Sting showed up.
If they could sign Cena, their ppv schedule and the way they build out their storylines could workfor a guy with that type of schedule. That said, I honestly hope it ends up being Punk. |

One thing that makes me think it's not Kurt Angle or Mick Foley is he said "Hall of Fame worthy" and they are both in the WWE Hall of Fame already... feels like they wouldn't word it that way maybe if it was them, but doesn't necessarily disqualify them

I read about Show’s announcement but have not yet watched. I have a guess about who the big signing is but I need some clarification first. Did he say fans won’t believe who it is or fans won’t BOlieve who it is?

Wasn't on last night but holy fuck what a great episode that was. If I wasn't already planning on getting Revolution, that would've sold me.
That episode resembled a three ring circus in the very best way. You like flippy lucha guys? We've got it. You want NWA/WCW nostalgia? Here's Sting and Tully fucking Blanchard. You want huge headline grabbing matches, have some Shaq. Ex-WWE guys? We've got them too. Here's a Joshi slugfest for good measure. Let's throw on a promo from Atsushi Onita to top it off. I know wrestling has been quietly going insane for about five years now, but Tully Blanchard just wrestled Marko Stunt on the same show Shaq took a table bump and Atsushi Onita cut a promo hyping a deathmatch. And depending who the next big signing to be announced is, there's no guarantee that any of those things will end up being what this show is most remembered for. What a delight. |

The way they’re hyping it up as a “huge, huge star”, it better be someone with decent star power or at the very least Mongo McMichael.

Hopefully it's not actually Christian... would be a huge disappointment
With that amount of hype, the only person I can think of who wouldn't disappoint would be CM Punk... or like Brock Lesnar |

Alastair Overeem just finished up his MMA career and would be an MMA Hall of Fame-type guy.
