5 Wrestlers Who Could Be The Joker In AEW's Women's Casino Battle Royale

5. Mickie James

The arrival of Mickie James at All Out would be a one-and-done deal, but there's a reason for it.

She's not going to bring any real substance to the current women's division. Perhaps Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D could get a win over her later on to enhance her credibility as the Women's World Champion. That's the extent of James' potential success in the Tony Khan-helmed promotion.

Instead, a surprise appearance in the Casino Battle Royale, one or two eliminations over lesser-built talents, and being ousted by a future top star - Jade Cargill, perhaps - would suit her better. It automatically raises the match's reputation for including such a legendary figure, but following the events of last weekend, there's never been a more perfect time to showcase Mickie James.

She executively produced NWA's Empowerrr pay-per-view, marking the first time of such an event in the history of that promotion. She deserves recognition for this in the years that follow; a quick AEW match is a way of achieving this. Ideally, the match would stop as her music played to give off the vibe that she's still a major deal in the business. Given the talent so far announced for the bout, there's great potential for Mickie in this match.

Probability: 25%
