AEW All Out 2022: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

4. The ‘Joker’ Is A Letdown

If there's one thing Tony loves more than long pay-per-views, it's signing more wrestlers. His roster is ridiculously deep in September 2022, and it just got deeper thanks to the arrival of ex-WWE man W. Morrissey on this week's episode of Dynamite. The former Big Cass just became #AllElite.

He won't be Sunday's 'Joker' entrant in the 'Casino Ladder Match' then, but who will be? Truthfully, some of the names being tossed around by fans on social media are a bit crap. Nobody's suggesting that anyone from IMPACT would be awful gets, but it's definitely a case of diminishing returns with these "surprises" nowadays.

Going in, people predict someone huge like MJF or even Bray Wyatt. If they don't get that, then they'll naturally be disappointed and greet Johnny Elite (or whomever) like a wet fart. Continually leaning on this 'Joker' thing is a risky play by AEW, so they better have someone cool in reserve.

Or else.
