Masked Joker Wins Casino Ladder Match At AEW All Out
Who is the mystery man?
Sep 5, 2022
A masked individual, entering from the "Joker" position, won the Casino Ladder match to open AEW All Out in Chicago.
Late in the match, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Dante Martin were all jockeying for position atop a ladder to pull down the poker chip, when they were all suddenly attacked by men in ski masks and black jumpsuits.
With all the participants taken out, one member of the group climbed the ladder and pulled the chip down, before revealing himself to be Stokely Hathaway. The other men unmasked to reveal Ethan Page, Gunn Club, Lee Moriarty, and W. Morrissey, all men that Hathaway had given his business card to.
The countdown then commenced for the Joker entrant. When the timer elapsed, "Sympathy for The Devil" by The Rolling Stones played, which brought out the masked individual. He did a little strut before entering the ring, and was then formally handed the chip by Hathaway, ending the match.
The mystery man then teased removing his mask, but balked at actually doing so, and then left the ring with the crew.
With the poker chip, the Joker is entitled to a future World title match.
