Tony Khan announces first-time-ever match for AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage

AEW Dynamite will head to Cincinnati, OH, next Wednesday for its inaugural Maximum Carnage special. The show was already set to be stacked, and Tony Khan just generated some extra hype with the announcement of the first-ever Women's Casino Gauntlet match.

The Casino Gauntlet is one of AEW's signature match stipulations. The bout follows a format similar to WWE's Royal Rumble but with a chaotic twist: it ends whenever someone is pinned or submitted, no matter how many participants have entered. This unpredictability has made it an exciting spectacle for fans, and the women's division is about to get in on the action.

Tony Khan took to X/Twitter today to announce that next week's AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage will feature the first-ever Women's Casino Gauntlet Match, with the winner earning a shot at Mariah May's Women's World Championship at Grand Slam Australia on February 15.

"NEXT WED, 1/15! Cincinnati, OH Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite 8pm ET/7pm CT on TBS + MAX #MaximumCarnage Women's Casino Gauntlet Match The Women's Casino Gauntlet winner will face the AEW Women's World Champion at Grand Slam Australia! Don’t miss Maximum Carnage NEXT WEDNESDAY!"

This week's AEW Dynamite will also feature a Casino Gauntlet Match

While the women of All Elite Wrestling will compete in a Casino Gauntlet Match next week, Tony Khan has cooked up a men's edition for tomorrow night's episode of Dynamite in Clarksville, TN. However, the winner will have his work cut out for him.

Jon Moxley and his Death Riders are still running wild in AEW, and though many have tried to put a stop to their rampage, the villainous faction has proven too brutal to put down. However, there are still plenty of stars hungry for Moxley's World Championship, and they'll compete this week for a shot at the title.

The winner of tomorrow's Casino Gauntlet match will face Moxley in his hometown of Cincinnati at AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage for the AEW World Championship. It's a daunting prospect, to be sure.

Jay White is determined to take Mox down and become the AEW World Champion. But with Kenny Omega returning to Dynamite and several other top stars gunning for the title, it's anybody's guess who will emerge with the gold next week.
