New AEW Signing to debut at All Out 2026: Three exciting arrivals potentially coming to Chicago

AEW

Following on from last month’s excellent All In London, AEW is heading to Chicago, IL for the eighth annual All Out pay-per-view tonight (September 26).

With the NOW Arena completely selling out, AEW should be looking to deliver a show full of surprises along with the expected high quality in-ring action.

One of the best ways to pop a pro wrestling crowd is by debuting a new face, and luckily for AEW they have plenty options in that regard.

Here are three new AEW signings to potentially debut at All Out 2026.

Mara Sadè

Since departing TNA Wrestling in August, Mara Sadè had been heavily linked to a move to All Elite Wrestling.

Having already experienced WWE as Jakara Jackson, and also checking off TNA, a move to Tony Khan’s company seemed like a logical next step in her continued evolution as a performer.

Her arrival in AEW has not been officially announced, however, after it was noticed that she referred to herself as a part of AEW on her website, Fightful would then confirm that she had indeed signed a contract.

With her boyfriend Kevin Knight also in the company, there are plenty of exciting options on the table for Sadè’s debut. Will she arrive as the first female member of The Don Callis Family and help Knight and Kyle Fletcher defeat Steven Borden & Darby Allin, or will she instead answer Persephone’s AEW TBS Championship open challenge?

Dani Luna

Another potential favorite to answer Persephone’s open challenge is also another TNA Wrestling alum: Dani Luna.

The English star departed TNA back in March after being granted her release from the company and has spent the past six months competing primarily on the independent scene back in the UK, as well as making some appearances for Scott D’Amore’s Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling in Canada.

Her time as a free agent has reportedly come to an end however, as Fightful recently reported that Luna has now signed with AEW and could be debuting with the promotion soon.

The aforementioned TBS Title open challenge feels like an ideal way to introduce Luna to the AEW audience, whether she wins or loses.

Ilja Dragunov

The highest profile new addition to the AEW roster who we could see at All Out is former WWE United States Champion Ilja Dragunov.

‘The Mad Dragon’ departed WWE in August after failing to agree terms on a new contract, and according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter he has now put pen to paper with AEW.

Dragunov fits like a glove with AEW, more so than in WWE. He will get more of a chance to put on physically intensive matches on a regular basis and mix it up with a host of familiar foes and first-time opponents.

Whether he confronts the winner of Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley or shows up elsewhere on the card, Dragunov debuting would provide All Out 2026 a moment that the show will be remembered for.
