Former WWE Superstar Buddy Murphy is currently a free agent and rumored to be making his AEW debut anytime soon. Even though Murphy recently expressed his desire to join IMPACT Wrestling, he might sign with the rising juggernaut.

Earlier today, Murphy took to Twitter to post a picture of the 'Joker' emoji. Although he deleted that tweet right after, many believe Murphy uploaded it about the Joker spot left in the Casino ladder match.

If the former RAW tag team champion does end up in the bout, he could be a clear favorite to become Kenny Omega's next challenger.


#2 CM Punk will add star power to the ladder match

CM Punk doesn't seem to have an opponent to ignite an immediate rivalry, which is why the company might choose him as the Joker in the upcoming Casino ladder match.

The Straight Edge Superstar has made an impressive start to his AEW career, defeating Darby Allin and Powerhouse Hobbs. Having the former WWE superstar compete in such a stipulation would eventually bring the best out of him.

On top of that, he could trade blows with the likes of Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy, whom he hasn't faced in his entire career yet. Although it would be too soon for him to enter the championship picture, don't be surprised if Punk becomes the #1 contender for Kenny Omega's AEW World title.
