AEW has quite a few luchadores and has seen many pass through, but Bandido is considered to be one of the better one by fans. AEW might be filled with high flyers, but Bandido could easily team up with Lucha Brothers or even with Andrade "El Idolo" and have a villainous streak.

Bandido's style of wrestling would be completely at home amongst all the risk takers, since he's known to jump from the ropes and launch into suicide dives.

Bandido isn't considered one of the best luchadors for nothing, and even at his young age, he has been a World Champion since July. Unfortunately, as such, he most likely could only make an appearance and nothing permanent.

In the past Bandido turned down offers to join WWE, as well as AEW in its early days. But, since then, the promotion has grown significantly and could only help elevate him more if he decided to become All-Elite.

#1. Bray Wyatt Making His AEW Debut

The name on everybody's lips going into AEW Full Gear is none other than Windham Rotunda, AKA Bray Wyatt. The host of Firefly Funhouse was one of the most shocking releases of the year, and has been mired in rumors and speculation since.

Wyatt's Twitter handle changed a day before his "no compete" clause expired and set off the rumor train once again. AEW was home to his late friend Brodie Lee, and could be the place he feels most at home now. However, his role might not be able to stand beside Malakai Black as yet another supernatural-esque competitor, as Tony Khan prefers to have more realistic personas.

Any of the previously mentioned wrestlers could make an appearance, but Rotunda's would make the most sense. On the other hand, all the cryptic messages and assumptions could make fans completely expect what will come. As such, would his debut in AEW truly be considered a "surprise"?

The wrestling world is just waiting for Rotunda's big debut. Regardless, Rotunda enjoys keeping his fans in suspense with cryptic tweets and countdowns, so whatever gimmick he'll return with, we can be sure it will be mysterious at the very least.

So, do you agree with the list or were you left unsatisfied? Is there anyone else you think will debut at Full Gear? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
