The AEW Dynamite Second Anniversary show will feature a seven-man ladder match to determine the No.1 Contender for Kenny Omega's World Championship.

During Friday's AEW Rampage in Rochester, the company announced six huge names for the ladder match. Jon Moxley, Lance Archer, PAC, Orange Cassidy, Matt Hardy, and Andrade El Idolo will battle it out for the opportunity.

As is the case with all AEW matches with the 'Casino' gimmick, the seventh member will be the Joker. In other words, it will be a mystery entrant. There is no news or speculation on who could show up.

There are several directions that AEW could go in with respect to the mystery entrant. Tony Khan has not been shy in pulling out surprises, especially since Dynamite got back on the road with many huge stars making their debuts in the past few months.

The likes of Buddy Matthews and Bronson Reed are still free agents, and the possibility of an IMPACT Wrestling star like Moose or Rich Swann making an appearance remains to be seen, considering their history with Kenny Omega.

The best case scenario for everyone involved, including the fans, would be Hangman Adam Page's return. The Millennial Cowboy has been absent from AEW since the Elite viciously attacked him.

Although he's moved down the rankings and lost his title shot in the 10-man elimination tag team match alongside Dark Order a few weeks ago, this would immediately help him to get another opportunity at Kenny Omega and the AEW World Title.
