Tune in THIS WEDNESDAY on TNT! https://t.co/SgwgPy5VhO
Throughout the year, Tony Khan has swerved its fans by bringing an unexpected name to his promotion. There's no doubt he's holding another massive surprise up his sleeve this week. With multiple hottest free agents still looming in the wrestling market, the company might bring one of them.
Moreover, a few superstars have been on the sidelines for quite some time, so the stage seems set for them to make their return. Now, without further ado, let's dive into five possible superstars that could be revealed as the Joker for the ladder match this Wednesday.
#5 Miro may have AEW World Championship in mind
What I was is dead. I am born again. I am The Redeemer. God’s Favorite Champion https://t.co/cNSQmMdS15
In a surprising turn of events last week, Miro lost his TNT Championship to Sammy Guevara. As exciting as it was to see a title change, the decision felt absurd since The Redeemer started to become one of the popular acts in AEW.
Regardless, his loss could be a blessing in disguise if the company has bigger plans for him. We have often witnessed superstars entering the main event picture after dropping their secondary title.
Miro has tremendously elevated his character and in-ring performance. He seems more than ready to fight for the coveted prize of this promotion. Even if he's not winning the entire match, the former WWE superstar will still be in the spotlight.
#4 Lio Rush could prove to be the dark horse in AEW's Casino ladder match
Lio Rush (@TheLionelGreen) has hit it big in business and now he's after a wealth of success in #AEW https://t.co/sbE4ScPHSE
Lio Rush, who made a cameo appearance at Double or Nothing earlier this year, is finally All Elite. Given his high-flying ability, he could be the perfect addition to the ladder match.
The former WWE superstar may have vengeance on mind as Matt Hardy will also be competing in the match. The latter eliminated Rush from the battle royale a few months ago. He could seek revenge by preventing Hardy from winning the bout. It could reignite a fresh feud on television down the road.
Whether or not AEW chooses to go in that direction, Lio Rush's mere presence in the upcoming match will keep fans at bated breath.
