Casino Battle Royale announced for AEW Double or Nothing
A Casino Battle Royale for a future AEW title shot has been announced for the May 30 Double or Nothing PPV.
Christian Cage made the announcement on tonight’s AEW Dynamite.
AEW’s Dasha Gonzalez was conducting an interview with Cage backstage regarding his recent issued with Team Taz. Cage said that Tony Khan has given him an open contract for next week’s Dynamite and Cage challenged any member of Team Taz to face him.
Cage then announced the Casino Battle Royale for a future AEW title shot.
Matt Sydal then approached Cage and said that he would be the one accepting Cage’s open challenge for next week, not a member of Team Taz. Sydal then revealed that he and Cage are the first two participants announced for the Battle Royale.

Another was held for an AEW Women’s title shot at All Out in August 2019. Lance Archer won the third iteration of the match at All Out in September 2020, while Rey Fenix and PAC won the first tag team version of the match at Revolution in March 2021.
