10 Things to expect if "All In 2" happens.

<p>

It all started with a tweet.

Dave Meltzer, the premiere wrestling online journalist, was asked if he thought smaller promotions like ROH would ever be able to sell out a ten thousand seat arena. His response? "Not anytime soon."

On his Twitter account, Cody replied with a simple message.

<p>

The gauntlet had been cast down and picked up. The challenge was set and accepted. Cue the disbelievers who nay-sayed the entire event during the promotional phase, right up until the event sold out in less than an hour.

There are many profound ways that All In has altered the wrestling landscape. With the resounding success of the largest independent show in wrestling history, a sequel is all but guaranteed.

So, what can you expect from All In part 2? Read on to find out!

#1. Expect a bigger venue with more seating.

<p>

Cody and the Young Bucks had expected that it would take some time--months--to sell all the tickets to All In. However, that was not the case. Not only did they sell all ten thousand seats, they went over that amount to the tune of 11, 263. Quite impressive, and with All In nearing certainty it is also certain that they will attempt to book even more seating area for their next event.


#2. More titles will be on the line.

The NWA had become a shell of its former self since the JC productions days. In fact, many wrestling fans who do not follow the independent circuit assumed it had shut down for good.

Thanks to a title change at All In, the NWA has gotten more publicity in a few weeks than they have had in the ten years prior. With all the attention garnered by the NWA, you can expect to see more independent promotions willing to let their champions defend at All In 2.

#3. There will be more women on the show.

Women's wrestling has never been hotter, and with both WWE and ROH looking to expand their women's rosters it will only become more so.

ALl In featured only one women's match, but expect that to change should All In 2 become a reality.

#4. More promotions may take part.

Lucha Underground, ROH, New Japan, the NWA, and Impact were all represented at All In.

With the sequel looking likely, you can expect to see more independent promotions trying to get in on the action. WALTER from PWG vs. Johnny Impact? It could happen.

#5. Major unsigned wrestling stars may appear--including former WWE contract holders.

 Despite many fan's hopes, CM Punk was not a part of All In.  But what about All In 2?

Everyone in the wrestling world has taken notice of All In's success. If the sequel becomes a reality, you can expect to see major stars who are not part of a specific promotion throw their hats in the ring for an appearance.

This could include even ex-WWE stars. Often, former WWE wrestlers avoid working in direct opposition to their ex company, but with the financial success of the event they may take the risk.

#6. Kenny Omega will probably return--and he could be defending a title.

<p>

It's no secret that Kenny Omega vs. Pentagon Jr. was one of All In's biggest hits. The dream match for wrestling purists did not disappoint, and given Omega's friendship with the promoters--who happen to be his Bullet Club stablemates--, his return is almost a given.

The question is will he be putting the IWGP Heavyweight title on the line at All In 2, should it come to pass?

#7. Ryback and Big Cass will not be appearing.

<p>

All In showcased a specific flavor of fast paced, high flying wrestling action. Given this, it is a near certainty that Big Cass and Ryback will NOT be part of All In 2.

The two big men are adequate wrestlers, but their ring styles are too slow, methodical, and plodding to mesh well with the majority of All In's talent.

#8. Nick Aldis may get his vengeance.

<p>

Reality TV star turned wrestler Nick Aldis--known as Magnus in Impact--lost his NWA championship to Cody at the first All In.

Of course, everyone is expecting a rematch, and where better than at All In 2? If the event happens and Aldis is a part of it, we wouldn't be surprised to see him with his arm in the air after the final bell.

#9. Okada will make it rain.

<p>

Kazuchiko Okada's legendary reign as IWGP champion left an indelible mark upon pro wrestling history. He remains one of the most popular talents on the international stage today in spite of his loss to Kenny Omega.

Many are saying his second match with omega is the best wrestling match in history. It's almost a sure bet you can go "All In' on that he will be a part of All In 2.

#10. WWE may make a play for All In's biggest stars--and vice versa.

If you don't think Vince McMahon and the empire he built haven't taken notice of All In's success, think again. While they may not be angry or even threatened by the notion, they are still a corporate entity and corporations like to acquire the competition if at all possible.

With the huge MSG G1 Climax show coming up early next year, and All In's unparalleled success, you can expect the WWE to make aggressive plays for Omega, the Bucks, and even stars like Okada, whom they have shown interest in before.

Also, there are WWE stars who may wish to jump ship and work the indies just for a chance to be a part of All In 2.
