Former WWE Superstar to debut in AEW as a heel and join The Blackpool Combat Club?
Blackpool Combat Club are one of the top factions in AEW and have multiple-time world champions in their ranks who have made their mark worldwide. To further solidify their spot at the top, the group could bring in a former WWE Superstar.
Chris Hero (fka Kassius Ohno) is a name that has been floating around with All Elite Wrestling, but what if he joins an already stacked Blackpool Combat Club? Hero has a history with some members, so this wouldn't be far-fetched.
Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli were known as the Kings of Wrestling, and their friendship lasted for more than a decade. The two last appeared together in September 2018 during an unaired episode of NXT, where Castagnoli arrived and saved Hero from the Undisputed Era.
The former WWE Superstar was reportedly seen backstage for the debut show of AEW Collision at the United Center in Chicago. This solidifies the possibility of Hero getting back in the ring and possibly aligning with the faction.
The Blackpool Combat Club will definitely become an even bigger force to reckon with, and they could have the entire AEW locker room in a chokehold.

Former WWE Superstar would love to return to face Bryan Danielson
Former WWE Superstar Chris Hero has been heavily mentioned to be making a return to in-ring competition. He works backstage for West Coast Pro Wrestling but has always kept the door open for an in-ring return.
While on Grapsody, Hero mentioned that he would love to share the ring again with Bryan Danielson. He said he would love to face him not just for the fans but also for himself.
"Man, he is one of my favorite opponents," Hero said, recalling the times when the two squared off in ROH, PWG, and for promotions in Germany and England. "Some of my favorite in-ring memories are matches with him, whether it was in backwoods Indiana, Los Angeles, Dayton, Ohio, my hometown. I think the world of him, and obviously, it'd be a treat to step back in the ring with him, not just for the fans, but also for me." [H/T WrestlingInc.]
