First Casino gauntlet entrant set, stipulation made for Darby Allin vs. Jack Perry at AEW All In

The first entrant for the Casino gauntlet match at this month’s AEW All In is now set after a three-way on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.

Orange Cassidy defeated both Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong in a three-way to determine who would guarantee they have a shot at participating in the gauntlet in which the winner earns a future AEW World title match.

Cassidy pinned O’Reilly with a crucifix after O’Reilly was attempting to get Strong in an armbar as a counter to End of Heartache.

As the rules of the gauntlet match go, two men will start but the bout ends after the first pinfall or submission, meaning the earlier a wrestler enters the better.

After a backstage brawl between TNT Champion Jack Perry and Darby Allin, their title bout for London’s Wembley Stadium is now a coffin match.

After a promo during a video package, Allin came out to the ring and then got jumped by the champion. A brawl ensued and eventually ended up backstage where Perry put Allin under a large bay door and then threatened to roll a cart into his prone head twice before being stopped by security. Perry then called for the new stipulation which was later made official.

At last year’s All In, Perry battled Hook for the FTW title where the infamous “cry me a river” line was uttered that led to a backstage skirmish between he and CM Punk that helped lead to Punk’s exit from the company.

On that same show, Allin competed alongside Sting in a tag team coffin match against Swerve Strickland and Christian Cage. Allin is undefeated in four AEW coffin matches, three of them as a singles wrestler.

  • AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland defends against Bryan Danielson
