Casino gauntlets

By Scott Keith on 31 May 2024


I kind of love the casino gauntlet, as it corrects the problems in

both AEW's original casino battle royal concept and in the gauntlet

match itself. Two tweaks…

* the match can only END via pinfall or submission, but people can

still get eliminated by going over the top rope. That helps cut out

the awkwardness of having nine or 10 guys still in the match, but most

of them on the outside recuperating.

* AEW has eight PPVs, and eight official titles. Each PPV cycle, have

a casino gauntlet on Dynamite to determine the challenger for a

different title at the next PPV. The exception is All In, when the

casino gauntlet happens on the card to determine a challenger for All

Out.

I really like that first one. Explains the lack of people in the ring all the time.
