With AEW All Out on the horizon, speculation about who or who might not make a surprise appearance there has started to run rampant.
One of the most talked about names is Seamus who is is set to leave WWE after nearly two decades with the company. By: Fighting SelectSheamus’ appearance at AEW All Out is unlikely, as he is technically still under contract with WWE until next week. Formerly a socket reports that “Celtic Razmik” will become a free agent on October 1All Out pay-per-view after five days.
Whether or not Sheamus and AEW were in talks during that time is unknown. WWE officials were said to have approached the former world champion with a restructured contract offer, which he quickly rejected.
In his case, former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Kairi Sane is already a free agent because hit a massive wave of releases as early as April 2026. Reports earlier this month stated that Sane and AEW were in active discussions About making The Pirate Princess possible for a Tony Khan-led company. Fightful Select has since noted that as of Friday, Sane has not signed with AEW, nor is he scheduled for All Out on September 26th. However, if a deal is struck anytime soon, it is expected to be some sort of dual contract.
Sane has a long history with STARDOM and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, both of which remain AEW partners. His last STARDOM date pitted him, Mayu Iwatani and Nanae Takahashi against STARS (Hazuki, Koguma and Saya Iida) in October 2023.
Dani Luna has reportedly signed with AEW
Another name in the spotlight is former Knockouts Tag Team Champion Dani Luna, who requested and received his release from TNA Wrestling in the spring of 2026.
After leaving TNA, Luna returned to the independent wrestling scenes in the United Kingdom and Canada. Fightful Select now reports that he has also joined All Elite Wrestling and will make his proper debut “very soon.” He is said to have reached an agreement with AEW over a month ago.
The magazine did not specify if Luna is expected to appear at AEW All Out. Fans have naturally elevated Luna as a potential opponent for TBS Champion Persephone, who iss plans to hold an open challenge for the title at the upcoming pay-per-view. Mara Sade, who? Also reported to have signed with AEW after leaving TNA, is another likely candidate to meet Persephone.
During his time in TNA, Luna became a two-time Knockouts World Champion alongside Jody Tritt. Together they were known as the Spitfire.
After the team’s split, Luna turned her attention to singles competition, where she quickly rose to the knockout world championship scene. One of her last TNA matches saw Arianna Grace challenge KO for the World Title in a triple threat match also involving Lei Yin Lee on March 27 at TNA Sacrifice.
In June, the UK leader began working for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, which now streams his weekly content on the MyAEW streaming platform.
