With the 2024 Continental Classic turning heads, breaking backs, and elevating stars like Kyle Fletcher and Daniel Garcia, fans are now asking: when will the women of AEW get their shot at this grueling, round-robin glory? During the Worlds End media call, AEW President Tony Khan hinted that a Women’s Continental Classic could be on the horizon. The catch? It’s all about timing, health, and, let’s be honest, a little bit of luck.
“The Potential Is Absolutely There”
When asked by Samantha Schipman of Wrestling Inc. and Daily DDT about the possibility, Khan didn’t shy away from his optimism:
“I think the division is very strong, and really we’ve had some of our best matches in the history of AEW women’s wrestling this year, so absolutely I think the potential is there to have a great round robin tournament.”
But potential comes with a side of reality. Khan acknowledged the demanding nature of such a tournament, pointing out that injuries in AEW’s women’s division have been a persistent challenge. He even referenced this year’s Continental Classic, where Komander stepped in for an injured Juice Robinson, as an example of the toll it can take.
Health First, Then History
Despite the hurdles, Khan remains bullish about the idea of a women’s Continental Classic. His excitement about the division’s growth was clear:
“If we keep everybody healthy and keep building and moving in that direction, I definitely think a great tournament like that would be a great development in continuing the great work that the women’s wrestlers in AEW have been doing.”
In other words, keep those wrestlers off ladders and away from poorly placed tables for a bit, and 2025 could be the year we see AEW’s women shine in a tournament of their own.
Takeaway
A Women’s Continental Classic could be a game-changer for AEW, elevating stars in the same way this year’s tournament has done for the men. It’s a lofty goal, but if AEW can keep its roster healthy and avoid injury bugs, this might just be the Evolution-level moment fans have been waiting for.
