An unidentified individual was spotted arriving at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena earlier today (via Ringside News), attempting to conceal their identity ahead of tonight’s All Out pay-per-view.
While fans often speculate about returns, one major name can likely be ruled out. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., who has been absent from television since late last year, confirmed on Instagram that she is booked for an appearance at a Comic Con in Houston this weekend, making a Toronto return highly unlikely.
That leaves the door wide open as to who the passenger in the SUV might be. Speculation is already centering on a couple of key names, including Chris Jericho, who has been off television for a significant stretch, and Jack Perry, who remains entangled in the ongoing storyline with The Young Bucks. Tony Khan has also recently expressed his desire to get Jericho back on AEW programming.
Interestingly, Baker’s situation may offer a glimpse into AEW’s thinking. Reports indicate the former AEW Women’s World Champion is medically cleared to compete, with the company simply waiting for the right creative moment for her return. The promotion has even referenced her in recent All Out promotional materials, suggesting she remains a key part of their plans.
For now, the identity of the person in the SUV remains unconfirmed. However, given AEW’s history of delivering major surprises on pay-per-view, the mysterious arrival has added another layer of intrigue to the event. Fans will undoubtedly be watching tonight to see if a new player makes their presence known.
