10 Wrestlers Who Could Be The Surprise Entrant In AEW Face Of The Revolution Ladder Match
5. Erick Redbeard
Erick Redbeard has actually appeared for AEW before, helping 'Hangman' Adam Page, John Silver, and Alex Reynolds overcome MJF, Ortiz, and Santana on the Mr. Brodie Lee tribute show. That's what it was, though - an appearance.
No contract was signed, and the former Rowan remains one of a few Black Wednesday free agents. But for how much longer?
The list of big beefy boys in AEW is second to none in this era of wrestling; Lance Archer, Brian Cage, Wardlow, Eddie Kingston, Miro, Luchasaurus, Powerhouse Hobbs. Literally all of them could have a f*cking amazing hoss fight with Redbeard.
Granted, Erick Rowan was never anyone's favourite wrestler, and thus, his appearance as the final entrant in the Ladder Match may derail everyone's excitement just because he's not CM Punk. You can't deny it, though - Erick will sign with the promotion one day.
Fans cared when he showed up at the end of 2020. Emotions aside, people genuinely lapped up an Erick Rowan appearance for what must have been the first time ever. If AEW are able to convey that sort of reaction from Erick f*cking Rowan, of all people, then they can do literally anything.
Count on him being there come Sunday.
