A pair of explosive four-way matches have joined the lineup for tonight’s AEW Dynamite card at the accesso ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington, with the winners earning an opportunity at All In: Texas.
Next month at All In: Texas, AEW will present both a men’s and women’s casino gauntlet match on the same card for the first time ever.
The match, which sees wrestlers enter one by one in a Royal Rumble style, continuing until someone scores a pinfall or submission finish, will give the winning wrestler a future title shot.
Since each gauntlet is one fall to a finish, getting into the bout early is important for securing a win. So important, it seems, that many wrestlers will compete for that first entry spot on tonight’s episode of Dynamite.
On the men’s side, it’ll be Don Callis Family’s Konosuke Takeshita, The Conglomeration’s Mark Briscoe, ROH World Champion Bandido, and Roderick Strong facing off in a four-way to determine who gets the #1 entry spot in the All In casino gauntlet.
The women fighting for a #1 spot in their casino gauntlet match will be Thunder Rosa, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, plus rivals Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander.
It was previously announced that tonight’s card will see Kota Ibushi make his return to AEW in-ring competition against Trent Beretta. The bout will be his first AEW match since late 2023.
We have also learned recently that The Hurt Syndicate have been added to the lineup for tonight’s card.
Here’s an update look at everything that has been announced for tonight’s show:
