AEW All In notes: New Zero Hour match, Private Party, Casino gauntlet update
The Zero Hour pre-show for Sunday’s AEW All In had a new match added during Saturday’s AEW Collision in addition to some other developments for the pay-per-view from London’s Wembley Stadium.
In a ten-man tag match, Ring of Honor Tag Team and Six-Man Champion Dustin Rhodes will team with fellow champions Sammy Guevara & The Von Erichs in addition to Katsuyori Shibata against former ROH Six-Man Champions Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona and former ROH Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Kingdom’s Matt Taven & Mike Bennett.
The match was made Saturday when Rhodes and Guevara issued an open challenge for the event which was later answered.

In a backstage segment Saturday that led into the previous announcement, it was stated that Private Party will be the official MCs for the night.

During the broadcast, Tony Schiavone said that the winner of the Casino gauntlet match will be able to “cash in” on their earned AEW World title shot which is believed to mean at any time, any place.
That adds further intrigue as the World title will be defended on the pay-per-view between current champion Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson.
