One of the biggest questions heading into tonight's Revolution pay-per-view is which "hall-of-fame-worthy" star will arrive in AEW during the show. Paul Wight teased the announcement during this week's AEW Dynamite, and AEW president Tony Khan took things a step further by telling Busted Open Radio it was one of his favorite wrestlers of all time. Since then, a few wrestlers have decided to get in on the action on social media.

First there's Pat McAfee. Cody Rhodes called out the NFL punter during a media conference call earlier this week, saying, "I didn't see this comment, especially from Pat. Which is super bizarre because I'm pretty sure that Pat is trying to get a job at AEW like every other day."

McAfee was hosting The Pat McAfee Show at the time and quickly responded.

"Cody Rhodes says I've been trying to get employed by the AEW? This is not true, I've actually contemplated retirement here more than I have contemplated going to AEW. I've been in a little bit of a spat with Rusev, old friend of ours, now Miro. [He] kind of came after us and we flipped the script a little on him a little."

But then the NXT star decided to post a video on Saturday of himself shoving his wrestling gear into a backpack.

Next up is Bully Ray, who posted an old promo of himself and D-Von Dudley hyping up the arrival of WWE's version of ECW. Fans were quick to notice Ray said, "The Revolution continues" in the promo, leading to fans making the connection with AEW.

Finally, there's Kurt Angle. Plenty has already been written about the video promo he uploaded on Saturday, but he may have just thrown cold water over the entire theory. On Sunday he uploaded a longer version of the video, revealing he was just promoting his new podcast The Kurt Angle Show.

Could any of these three be the mystery signing? Tell us your predictions down in the comments!
