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

Christopher Daniels is presumably in his final stretch as a professional wrestler. Debuting nearly three decades ago, the Fallen Angel - now 51-years-old - can still go, but for how much longer?

Thus, AEW must take advantage of Daniels' capabilities while they still have that option.

He was effectively written off AEW programming when he and old SCU pal Frankie Kazarian were forced to disband following a May loss to the Young Bucks. While Kazarian has remained a fixture in AEW storylines since, debuting his new Elite Hunter schtick, Daniels' work has instead seen him recently crop back up in IMPACT Wrestling. He returned in September, defeating Madman Fulton in his return match.

Daniels looked great during this time. It felt as if he was attempting to prove something; every movement directed towards Fulton was executed with conviction. The former X Division Champion wasn't slowing down or changing his style with age; he'll remain the same Christopher Daniels until his retirement day arrives.

A cryptic vignette aired on the 27 September Being The Elite to tease a new Christopher Daniels. That same Daniels who was on IMPACT. Given it was the Jackson brothers who brought an end to his partnership with Kazarian, Daniels returning to AEW with the goal of ending Kenny Omega's run as AEW World Champion seems apt.
