10 Wrestlers Who Could Be AEW's Joker In Dynamite's Casino Ladder Match

10. Joey Janela

AEW Dark used to mean something greater.

It used to actually be worth your time every week, as it offered top-tier names such as Darby Allin, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D, Jungle Boy, and SCU on a near-weekly basis. There would be one or two weeks where you got a dud episode, but overall, it clicked. The segments clicked, too, but again, only sometimes, Cody Rhodes' From Undesirable To Undeniable being the defining example.

On its second episode, Dark also boasted an often-overlooked AEW match. It's forgotten to the point that it may as well not be canon in All Elite Wrestling's history.

The match in question was Kenny Omega vs. Joey Janela, who provided an exemplary look at what the Lights Out match should always be. It wasn't quite the car crash style of pro wrestling that Omega vs. Jon Moxley was at Full Gear, but it was teetering on that level; CZW-lite, if you will. There were no inhumane barbed wire structures, but rather meticulously planned spots involving chairs.

Though Janela's inclusion as the Joker would a) risk turning viewers off due to him not being Adam Page, and b) render the rankings system null and void, there is a story that Tony Schiavone and co. could use to justify his placement.

Plus, y'know, Lance Archer can beat the sh*t out of him.
