AEW’s Casino Battle Royale is returning for All Out.
On this week’s Road to All Out episode, it was announced that a women’s Casino Battle Royale will take place on the All Out pre-show. The winner will become the first contender for the inaugural AEW Women’s Championship.
The first Women’s Champion will be crowned on AEW’s television debut on Wednesday, October 2. AEW has yet to reveal further details about the title match.
There will be 21 entrants in the Casino Battle Royale. It will begin with five wrestlers, with groups of five entering every three minutes after that. The 21st wrestler will then enter on their own.
