2. 9

Pros:

There is literally a canon member of the AEW roster called 9 - he is in the Dark Order and was defeated alongside '8' by the Natural Nightmares in April - and so he of course is the ninth entrant into the Casino Ladder match. He wears a mask, which also explains the graphic. It's 9, lads, no mystery, close the betting. AEW has opened its arms to a heightened reality in this Empty Arena Era. There's as much absurd farce as earnest storytelling. This might actually be a deliberately naff bit of comedy.

Cons:

It almost certainly is not.

Probability: 3%
