All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has plenty of stars up and down the card who hit their stride throughout 2025.

Whether it be the belt collecting of Mercedes Moné or the redemption of Hangman Page, these talents were the most prominently featured throughout the past 12 months.

Heading into 2026, the company will have the chance to launch new names into the stratosphere for a big push in the new year.

Here are 10 new AEW stars to be potentially pushed by Tony Khan in 2026.

10. Kyle O’Reilly

On the November 12 Blood & Guts special of AEW Dynamite, Kyle O’Reilly claimed victory for his team with the Conglomeration, Roderick Strong and Darby Allin against The Death Riders by making Jon Moxley tap out in the Men’s Blood & Guts Match.

To continue his momentum, O’Reilly got another significant victory over Moxley in a No Holds Barred Match at AEW Full Gear 2025.

A post match attack from Moxley prevented O’Reilly from taking part in the Continental Classic tournament.

After missing out on the year closing series, fans should expect O’Reily’s push to continue in the new year where he could possibly mix it up with more main event talent now.
