5 Wrestlers Who Could Be The Joker In AEW's Casino Battle Royale (And 5 Who Won't)

10. Could Be - Hook

Hook is going to have his first official match in All Elite Wrestling. He just is. A match with plenty of moving parts is the perfect place to debut him.

The real-life son of Taz, Hook has been a blast to watch progress across AEW programming. Just look at that neat overhead belly-to-belly he's hitting on Jake St. Patrick in the above GIF. Hook is going to be a hoot.

There's no harm in placing him in the Casino Battle Royale because he'll be in there with not only an endless amount of talent, but also Team Taz pal Powerhouse Hobbs. He doesn't need to do anything major here either, other than a few decent suplexes. What's key is there are a number of guys already confirmed for the match that could easily be used as suplex fodder for the 22-year-old. Griff Garrison? Sure. Brian Pillman Jr.? F*ck him up. Lee Johnson? Suplex him out of Daily's Place.

Hook has been actively appearing on AEW television since the 25 November Dynamite, where it was revealed he had been training with Cody Rhodes rather than 'The Human Suplex Machine'. He's in safe hands, either way. Surely it can't be much longer before we see some more of those utterly gorgeous suplexes.
