Below is the updated list of who has been confirmed for All In. It should be noted that there’s been no official word on Deonna Purrazzo’s status for the event after it was recently revealed that she’s signed a WWE contract (which you can find here):

• Cody
• The Young Bucks
• Kenny Omega
• Stephen Amell
• Marty Scurll
• Hangman Page
• Kazuchika Okada
• Kota Ibushi
• Tessa Blanchard
• Penta El Zero M/Pentagon Jr.
• Rey Fenix
• Jay Lethal
• Chelsea Green
• Deonna Purazzo
• Penelope Ford
• Joey Janela
• Britt Baker
• Matt Cross/Son Of Havoc
• Madison Rayne
• MJF
• Don Callis

EA’s Take: It’s not official, but I think it’s safe to say that Deonna Purrazzo is “All Out” in the words of Greg DeMarco. Unless WWE is willing to work something out for her to appear, which lately it sounds like they’re more open to such things. However, this is an odd case since they can’t do something like a “talent exchange” because All In is not being produced by an actual wrestling company (that we know of). Greg also wondered if perhaps Madison Rayne being added to the show was to make up for it, which would make complete sense.
