I did really like ABRN, they were one of my favourite tournament teams so I would like to see them return in a more prominent role, but I don't think it's very likely just based on what we've seen so far.

Realistically, I think it's more likely for Flynt and Neon to become semi-regular characters. Miles and Kerry seemed to like them and they got more development compared to the other filler teams. The scene where they show respect to Yang and Weiss after the match seemed to be an attempt to make them sympathetic and relatable, which sort of telegraphs an intention to make them more prominent in future. I sort of suspected already that FNKI would be Weiss' sort of replacement team while she's staying in Atlas, and they'd help her sort out what's happening in Atlas' shadows. I also think Weiss might end up being with Flynt but that's what we call 'crack shipping', except it makes about .1% more sense. Weiss' father willl definately have a role as well, but I don't know if he'll be a supporting character or an antagonist (the manga seemed to imply that he did care all along).
