From Jon Moxley to Mercedes Moné, can you match these AEW surprise debuts to the event they occurred?
All Elite Wrestling is many things but at its core, it is a haven for professional wrestling.
Its corny ‘Where The Best Wrestle’ tagline aside, AEW has proven itself as a hot commodity for pro wrestling’s best and brightest to showcase their oft-otherworldly talents in front of a global audience. Main eventer, mid-carder, or enhancement talent, it is rare to look bad in an AEW ring and boy, does AEW have the gluttonous roster to prove it.
Beginning at Double or Nothing 2019, the shock debut has been a staple - the selling point, even - of AEW’s product. Indeed, numerous shows have been built around the expected debut of a hot free agent; Double or Nothing ‘19 itself being the first as Jon Moxley, the former Dean Ambrose, was heavily expected to arrive, and arrive he did, laying out Kenny Omega in a scintillating show-closing angle.
As for the others? You’re on your own. You have five minutes. Good luck!
