Highly Possibility:
Clark Connors – I can 100% see them bringing him in from AEW, just like with Knight last year.
Jakob Austin Young – More of a shine recently, would be weird if he didn't get a spot.
Robbie X – Ishimori's tag team partner; Would be stupid to leave him out, especially since he's been coming back frequently since his 2024 debut.
Titan – His yearly BOSJ run.
Maybe's:
Daiki Nagai – Chris said that Nagai might not go on excursion, or have his excursion be very similar to Fujita's where he'd be gone for a couple months before jumping right into BOSJ shortly after.
Zane Jay – He could get a shot, but I highly doubt he will just yet.
Tiger Mask – He retires in June, so one last BOSJ could be in store for him.
Dragon Dia – He's been in the BOSJ lineup since 2024, so I could see him come back.
Ninja Mack – Just like Dia, he's been in BOSJ for the past couple years, however he was apparently removed from the X-Over card back in October, so we'll see if he makes a comeback.
Templario – Still listed as a member of United Empire, would love to see him get a shine.
Ace Austin – Okay, I'm an Ace Austin mark that want's to see him back in BOSJ.
