Just hit me. Released on January 6th from NXT (so a 30-day non compete)... it’s Samoa Joe who, while I still think can go, is also plagued with concussion issues. Sure but if he’s cleared, he’s cleared (as we’ve seen with Bryan and Christian).

Assuming he's got his wind back, Keith Lee appearing out of nowhere to pounce Adam Cole out of his boots one more time would be worth the price of admission alone.
Or, since Danhausen can talk but can't wrestle yet... he can be Leehausen and be the straight-man bruiser to Danhausen's insanity, because Danhausen somehow pairs well with anyone.

I couldnt think of a worst debut than Kross
At least Strouman would cause a riot and wars online. Kross would just be cheer apathy and confused disbelief.

Control the Narrative is a promotion(barely counts as one but still), and also makes them fit for the Forbidden Door aspect, EC3 is another one because he has a lot of history with Matt Hardy.

That's a huge reach. Most AEW fans' reaction to hearing they're opening the Forbidden Door to Control Your Narrative would probably be "Who?"
Also what's your source on that Kross screencap?

Joe would be awesome. Even if you could only get one or two years of part-time wrestling out of him, he'd be worth a pick-up.
Of all the realistic ideas out there though, I hope it's Keith Lee. He seems the right balance of established but ripe with untapped potential for AEW to take advantage of at this time.

God if the Control your Narrative geeks get signed then it'd be genuinely embarrassing and the first truly major utterly awful signing.

Kross only has at best marginal value and that's 100% on other people.
The only time he was remotely interesting is when he was interacting with Morrison and Taya...I don't you wanna sign 3 people to get marginal value from 1.

AEW is having everyone hype this up on Twitter. TK seems somewhat self aware after some of his previous announcements so I am guessing it's a big name. Certainly more than Kross. Tony has said he watches WWE still and he saw how that went in NXT and on RAW.

Tony also said in his interview with Sports Illustrated that this debut will set up some other matches down the line and play a role in terms of what's on Rampage this week.

The new signing playing a role in the Rampage card makes the Dynamite card as currently announced much weirder to me. We have two matches announced for Rampage (admittedly, one featuring an unknown quantity), which is between half and 2/3 of the card, and only two matches announced for Dynamite, about 1/4 or 1/5 of the card judging by what else is promoted, half of which is carried by this specific mystery. Right up until the night before the show, a disproportionate amount of Dynamite's promotion is tied up in this one mystery debut...and Khan's here saying it affects Rampage, too. EDIT: Gotta say, it makes Keith Lee make more sense if it affect Rampage by also signalling the debut of Mia Yim or Shane Taylor.

Kross debuting at some point, if he were to be the third member of House of Black or something, is not out of the realm of possibility to me... but I do not see the guy as this surprise. It's being way too hyped up.
Jeff, Samoa Joe, Keith Lee is my ballpark, curious if we're in the ballpark. Also curious how it effects Rampage.
And none of this may tie in to Tony's HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT also tapped for Wednesday either.

Time for Shota "Shooter" Umino to finally debut on AEW

This is definitely starting to feel like less of a "hey here's a guy! Isn't this awesome?" and more of a potential major angle.

There are two different graphics for these things. Not entirely sure.

Just realized that it could also be Johnny Gargano. Like everyone thought he was a foregone conclusion at the Cleveland Dynamite a couple of weeks ago.

I feel like it either will be Keith Lee or someone out of left field with a currently unknown contract status.
