The Four Horsemen being revived in AEW has long been something controversial and highly speculated to be happening soon.
This thread is a breakdown of all the teases we've seen

thus far and how each person speculated to be in the new faction is connected to it.
Who's going to be in the new faction?
We know Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson will be managing them as that's a given. They are original horsemen and the main connection between the four.

Shawn Spears is managed by Tully Blanchard and after some defeats, Tully cut one hell of a promo saying that Spears needed to get it together and needed to want to be the best, in this promo Tully flashed the 4 in front of the camera.

Sometime after this, Tully gifted Shawn Spears a black glove. Why is this significant? Because Barry Windham (a horsemen) started wearing that glove when he turned heel and joined the Four Horsemen.

When FTR had their debut match, Spears was in the stands along with Arn and Tully watching.

signal to do so. Guess who else was present during this? Shawn Spears.
Spears also tweeted out an omnious Roman numeral four back in July..

Spears has the connection with Tully and now wears the same glove a horsemen used to wear and is being praised by FTR.
We move on to the final candidate and the one most people just don't see how this could be..

Cody.
A Rhodes being a horsemen? Whaaattttt?!
Cody is a member of The Elite (maybe?) and The Nightmare Family so why would be in this new horsemen faction? We got to wait to hear that from Cody himself.. while we wait...

Cody is managed by Arn Anderson.
Cody has not so subtly flashed the sign multiple times and here recently it was while doing it during a promo where he was questioning his status with The Elite and Nightmare Family.

Cody has been wrestling more aggressively lately, being more cocky, and some would say showing heel tendencies.
Remember that Tully promo for Spears? Cody responded to it with four question marks.

Cody had an interesting response in an interview to a question about a new Four Horsemen stable forming:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/talksport.com/sport/wrestling/732637/cody-rhodes-four-horsemen-aew/amp/
Could Cody be the one who is leading the new Four Horsemen stable with Arn and Tully?

Only time will tell but I do believe we will get our answer very soon.
To those who question whether AEW can even form this stable and use the name..
