As AEW’s final pay-per-view event of 2025, World’s End, draws near, fans might see some fresh faces making their debut. Several exciting potential signings include former WWE stars and previous AEW performers possibly making a comeback. Below, we highlight five recently signed wrestlers who could feature at World’s End 2025.
5. Cedric Alexander
Cedric Alexander is the last key member yet to join AEW’s version of the “Hurt Syndicate,” a faction inspired by WWE’s original Hurt Business group. While Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP joined AEW last year, Alexander chose to move to TNA Wrestling after his WWE release. TNA has a new weekly show on AMC, but given Alexander’s veteran status and free-agent situation, he may not get as much focus there. If AEW’s Tony Khan is interested, Alexander’s debut at World’s End would be a fitting introduction to the promotion.
Fan Take: Bringing Cedric Alexander into AEW would not only complete the iconic Hurt Syndicate but also inject fresh energy and talent into the roster. This move could create compelling storylines and rivalries, making it an exciting development for AEW fans and the future of professional wrestling.
