Jokerz with Moxley at WrestleMania!

**The Jokerz** were a group of people who followed Joker Jon Moxley that was in WSC from 201 9-2020, and again from 2022-2023. The Jokerz are part of Jon Moxley's dark past where he raised them up so they helped him takeover WSC, When you think of Jon Moxley, you think of The Jokerz, as they were a huge part of The Joker Jon Moxley's carer, They were merciless and brutal and just wanted blood for their leader, and they never forget where they came from.

In 2023, The Jokerz unmasked themselves under a new stable with Moxley known as the Agents of Chaos.

### Background

On the *Fighting With The Fed* podcast, Nathan said that the masks were based off of the 2019 Joaquin Phoenix *Joker* movie, while their attitudes and style were based off of the Heath Ledger Joker in the *The Dark Night* movie.

### Original Run (2019-2020)

Moxley competed in the first ever Deadly Games Match along with Tommaso Ciampa, Adam Cole, Mick Foley (FKA Mankind), Jeff Hardy, and champion Stone Cold. By pushing Hardy off the top of the Deadly Game structure into the ring eliminating him, he grabbed the championship from the pole and became the first ever 2x WSC Hardcore Champion. Moxley never held his title for long though, as in his first title defense he lost to Roman Reigns. The 2 former Shield brothers befriend each other, but right after they do so a debuting Seth Rollins comes out and challenges Reigns and Moxley. Naturally, they had a Triple Threat Match the next episode.

All of a sudden, Moxley ordered a couple of "Jokerz" to attack Reigns and Rollins mid match. One Barbed Wire Bat to Roman's head later and 1,2,3, Moxley became the first ever 3x WSC Hardcore Champion. This lead up Moxley to turn heel and now being called **(The) Joker Jon Moxley**. Moxley's first defense as The Joker was against Rollins in the first ever Miracle On 34th Street Fight Match where he successfully defended it. He then retained it against Braun Strowman in the 2nd Asylum Steel Cage Match. Moxley Then successfully defeated Reigns in the episode after the first ever WSC Money In The Bank Ladder Match. While The Joker's reign as champion dominated everyone, The Stage Creator himself was sick of his BS, so The Joker's championship became on the line against Nathan in a Ladder Match. What one might say "the upset of the century", the boyhood dream came true for The Stage Creator with an interference from The Fiend took down Moxley and Nathan yanked the title down to get what's his. The reign only lasted a minute though, as "Mr. Money In The Bank" Kevin Owens successfully cashed in his briefcase against Nathan.

Although his title reign is over, The Joker still remained in Moxley for the 2nd WSC Elimination Chamber, where Moxley is fighting against Matt Riddle, John Cena, The Fiend, John Morrison, and champion Kevin Owens. Moxley was the 2nd person let out of his pod. During the match, Riddle pinned Owens, guaranteeing a new WSC Hardcore Champion, though immediately after Riddle pinned Owens, Moxley pinned Riddle and eliminated him with a Paradigm Shift. Moxley then afterwards pinned Morrison with a Paradigm Shift off the top of the pod. Unfortunately, Moxley did not won the title after The Fiend Made Moxley pass out with a Mandible Claw and eventually winning the championship passing out John Cena with the Claw also.

The Joker tried to get the championship back against The Fiend, but yet again is unsuccessful. after the match, The Jokerz unexpectedly betrayed Moxley and beat the living hell out of him. After the beat down, Moxley looks into the reflective floor, questioning his sanity. Thus, The Joker is retired.

Moxley the participated in the April 2020 Royal Rumble when he entered #1. during the match, Moxley and Cactus Jack (FKA Mick Foley) worked together to eliminate 40-Man Battle Royal winner Enzo Amore, but Moxley quickly got eliminated when Abyss pushed Jack into Moxley causing Mox to let go of the ropes. But its not over there. All of a sudden The Joker Jon Moxley returned for 1 night only at #18. The Joker gave Hornswoggle a Joker mask, allowing Swoggle to be apart of The Jokerz. Swoggle punch The Fiend in the balls for Moxley to eliminate The Fiend. The duo posed with each other, but Moxley betrayed Swoggle by hitting a home run with The Barbed Wire Bat across Hornswoggle's back, eliminating him. During the final parts of the match, Moxley managed to eliminate Edge. Then Mox had a brawl on the ring apron with Aleister Black, which ended with Mox getting eliminated by Black with a Black Mass. Black got eliminated seconds later by Jeff Hardy, leading to Hardy winning the match.

### Return (2022-2023)

Moxley competed in a Fatal 4 Way for the WSC Hardcore Championship again facing off with his former Shield brothers, Rollins and Reigns, and champion CM Punk. But then during the match when Moxley wasn't doing so good, The Jokerz surprisingly returns to help out Moxley, maybe to bring him back. Though they tried, Punk still retained his championship. One of The Jokerz eventually revealed himself as Eddie Kingston, and he want Moxley to join with them as well to become The Joker. Moxley just walked off however.

After Shrek retained his Multiversal Championship in the first ever Swamp Match, The Joker Jon Moxley came back straight from 2020, hinting a match between Shrek and Joker Jon Moxley for the WSC Multiversal Championship. Joker manhandled everybody before the match. Drew McIntyre, Puss n Boots, and Donkey looked disfigured. Then Moxley almost killed Tibbles, Nathan's dog. They then went after Nathan and after decapitating Joker Braun Strowman WSC sent out, they took the Time GPS off of Nathan's wrist and put him in 2020 with his 2020 self there. Then, Moxley sent out rocks dropped on Shrek's head, but Shrek still got up and took the Time GPS. But, with one Paradigm Shift and a pin, Moxley became Multiversal Champion. But then, Shrek helped Nathan get him out and sent The Fiend to get him. after another pin, The Fiend is now Multiversal Champion, ending Joker's reign at 59 Seconds, which is actually now a record for shortest title reign ever!

The Jokerz then appeared at WrestleMania as Joker Jon Moxley also returned for one night for the fifth Deadly Games. He lost the match. During a promo of Cody Rhodes talking about the 2023 Royal Rumble, Joker Jon Moxley came out with his **Jokerz** and laid a beat down on Rhodes, sending a message to him (which confirmed Moxley would be in the rumble). Seconds later, AJ Styles tried to cash in, but got attack by Punk.

Joker Jon Moxley entered the Rumble at number 2 and failed to win and was eliminated by Cody Rhodes the eventual winner. Joker Jon Moxley and the Jokerz attacked Cody and his brother Dustin Rhodes the next night, setting up a No Mercy Match at No Mercy between Joker Jon Moxley and Cody Rhodes for the WSC Hardcore Championship. During the contract signing, Cody fought all three Jokerz knocking off Joker #1's mask revealing Wheeler Yuta, while Joker #3 revealed himself as Claudio Castagnoli. The Jokerz gave a triple powerbomb to Cody through a table. The four now go under the Agents of Chaos, marking the end of The Jokerz.
