#5. AEW Double or Nothing 2020 - Casino Ladder match

The AEW Casino Ladder Match is essentially a take on WWE's Money In The Bank concept, but with a poker chip as a prize instead of a briefcase.

Another distinct feature was the added stipulation of the Royal Rumble elements, where each competitor enters the ring after 90 seconds before the final mystery opponent of the "joker" rounds up the playing field.

The first iteration took place at Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2020. Brian Cage defeated eight other competitors to win the Casino Ladder match to earn a future shot at the AEW World Championship.

The match was a star-studded affair. It consisted of Darby Allin, Scorpio Sky, Frankie Kazarian, Joey Janela, Luchasaurus, Orange Cassidy, Kip Sabian, Colt Cabana, and Cage, who was the mystery entrant. This was the first time Cage appeared with Taz, which would eventually lead to the creation of Team Taz.

The heavyweight wrestler tore through the competition and grasped the poker chip to win the bout. He would later go on to challenge then world champion Jon Moxley in a losing effort.
