Folks, brace yourselves! All In 2024 is just two weeks away, and the stage is set for AEW’s grand international bash. The latest juicy tidbit from Wednesday’s “AEW Dynamite” broadcast? A Casino Gauntlet match with a golden ticket for the AEW World Championship dangled in front of the winner’s nose! Yes, you heard it right. And just like the classic poker game, the participants remain a mystery.
Now, for those of you thinking, “Isn’t this just another Casino Battle Royal?” think again! Casino Gauntlet matches are the wild, unpredictable cousins where wrestlers crash into the ring at random times. Picture a pinball machine with muscles and sequins, and you get the idea. The first one to pin or make someone tap out amidst the chaos wins and gets a shot at the big prize, the AEW World Championship.
Historically, only two souls have survived the Casino Gauntlet, and both times it was Will Ospreay. But don’t expect him to roll a triple-7 this time around, as he’s likely to clash with MJF for the AEW American Championship (formerly known as the AEW International Championship—because, rebranding!).
But wait, there’s more! On the same epic night, the AEW World Championship will be defended in a spine-tingling Titles vs. Career match featuring Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson. As if that wasn’t enough to make you spill your popcorn, we also have Toni Storm versus Mariah May for the AEW Women’s World Championship, Jack Perry against Darby Allin for the AEW TNT Championship, and Britt Baker taking on Mercedes Mone for the AEW TBS Championship. It’s a veritable buffet of bodyslams and bravado!
Stay tuned, wrestling fans, because this event is shaping up to be more electrifying than a toaster in a bathtub!
