It's tough to get fully excited for a ladder match in the year of our lord 2022, so oversaturated is the stipulation, but AEW's Casino variant at least brings intrigue in the form of the Joker.

MJF is a popular choice here. Given that the winner receives a future AEW World Title shot, the match provides an expressway to the main event scene for the absent heel, whose comeback is going to be huge regardless. But perhaps that's the key argument against him winning. It's going to be huge regardless. He doesn't necessarily need this triumph, which may be better utilised elsewhere.

Claudio Castagnoli would be an incredible World Championship opponent for anybody and has looked tremendous in his AEW run thus far. The other participants are skilled, beatable one-off title contenders, and rubbing shoulders with that scene would theoretically enhance up-and-comers Wheeler Yuta and Dante Martin.

But the appeal of a Joker win is obviously the more intoxicating choice. Let's go with one that comes with considerable red tape...

Winner: Screw it... Kota Ibushi
