AEW Continental Classic results & updated standings

Four matches down, five left to go in this year’s AEW Continental Classic as the possibilities for the top four advancing to next Saturday’s Worlds End pay-per-view are still wide open.

Ricochet put himself in prime position by virtue of his somewhat checkered Gold league win over Will Ospreay that opened up Saturday’s Collision, giving him nine points. He will face Darby Allin this Wednesday who can only hope for a tie at this point.

Claudio Castagnoli also had a controversial win Saturday, knocking Allin out with brass knuckles to score the pin and also hit the nine point mark. He takes on Komander Wednesday who can only play spoiler as he has no points.

With some help, Ospreay remains alive for a potential tie if he can defeat Brody King this Wednesday. With a win, King could also potentially grab a tie for first as he defeated Komander on Friday’s Rampage.

In the Blue league, TNT Champion Daniel Garcia picked up a huge Blue league win Saturday in pinning Shelton Benjamin. Garcia now moves into a tie for second place with Kazuchika Okada at seven points a piece. On Wednesday, Garcia will face league co-leader Kyle Fletcher while Okada will take on Benjamin who is still alive for a tie with six points but will need some help.

Fletcher has a friend at the top in Mark Briscoe who defeated the winless Beast Mortos to earn three points and hit the nine point mark himself. Briscoe’s tournament is done, but he could earn a tie if Fletcher loses (he defeated Fletcher for the tiebreaker) and if both Okada and Garcia lose. Mortos’ tournament is also done.

Both Mortos and Komander are eliminated from either winning or finishing runner-up in their respective leagues.

The winner of the Gold league will face the Blue league runner-up and vice versa at Worlds End with those winners moving onto the tournament final that same night.

This Wednesday’s Dynamite:

• Gold league: Will Ospreay (six points) vs. Brody King (six points)
• Gold league: Darby Allin vs. Ricochet (nine points)
• Gold league: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Komander (zero points)
• Blue league: Kazuchika Okada (seven points) vs. Shelton Benjamin (six points)
• Blue league: Daniel Garcia (seven points) vs. Kyle Fletcher (nine points)
