AEW reveals full list of participants for Continental Classic tournament
The full list of participants for this year’s Continental Classic tournament have been revealed.
AEW gave details of the tournament on a Selection Special stream that aired on Sunday. It will kick off this Wednesday on Dynamite and will conclude at AEW’s next pay-per-view, Worlds End, on December 28 in Orlando. Similar to last year, the twelve wrestlers will be divided into two groups, the Blue League and the Gold League. The winners of both leagues will meet at Worlds End.
This year’s entrants include:
Blue League
- AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada
- Kyle Fletcher
- TNT Champion Daniel Garcia
- The Beast Mortos
- Mark Briscoe
- Shelton Benjamin
Gold League
- Will Ospreay
- Juice Robinson
- Brody King
- Ricochet
- AEW Trios Champion Claudio Castagnoli
- Darby Allin
Each match in the Continental Classic will be held under a 20-minute time limit, with everyone banned from ringside. A win is three points, a draw will earn both wrestlers one point, and a loss is zero points.
Eddie Kingston won the inaugural Continental Classic last year, defeating Bryan Danielson in the finals. His win briefly unified the AEW Continental, ROH World, and New Japan Strong titles.
