All Elite Wrestling casino matches
professional wrestling match type
As part of a general theme, the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling utilises various casino-themed matches: the Casino Battle Royale, a 21-man rumble-rules battle royal; the Casino Ladder Match, a nine-man ladder match where the prize – a large poker chip suspended above the ring – signifies a future AEW World Championship opportunity; and the Casino Gauntlet match, a gauntlet match where entrants gradually fill the ring and the first participant to score a pinfall or submission wins the gauntlet.
History
The first Casino Battle Royale occurred during the pre-show of AEW's inaugural event, Double or Nothing in May 2019, and was a men's match. The winner of this first match was entered into the match to determine the inaugural holder of the AEW World Championship at All Out in August of that year. The second Casino Battle Royale was a women's match and was held during the pre-show of the All Out event mentioned above. Like the first, the winner of this second iteration was entered into the match to determine the inaugural holder of the AEW Women's World Championship on the debut episode of AEW's weekly television show, Dynamite. Further Casino Battle Royales took place at All Out in 2020, Double or Nothing in 2021, and on Dynamite in 2022 for men, and at All Out in 2021 for women. A tag team variation of the match, called the Casino Tag Team Royale, was first utilized at Revolution in March 2021, where the prize was AEW World Tag Team Championship match – and on the episodes of Dynamite immediately preceding the Revolution pay-per-view in 2022 and 2023. In December 2022, a version for three-man teams was established called the Casino Trios Royale, where the winning team would split $300,000. The Battle Royale was supplemented by the Casino Ladder match – a ladder match in which the prize, a large poker chip, is suspended above the ring – in 2020, and by the Casino Gauntlet match – a modified gauntlet match – in 2024.
