"Top names" expected for AEW's Casino Gauntlet match at All In - Reports

AEW is days away from its second annual All In pay-per-view from Wembley Stadium in London, England. There's a strong buzz surrounding the big event as fans speculate on rumored swerves and surprises. AEW officials are busy finalizing the show, including big plans for the Casino Gauntlet.

All In 2024 is set to feature the third Casino Gauntlet in company history. Orange Cassidy is the only confirmed entrant as of this writing. He recently defeated Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong in a three-way match to earn the number one spot in the Gauntlet. There are a maximum of 20 spots left, and the winner will earn a guaranteed future shot at the AEW World Championship.

All Elite Wrestling officials were loading up the Casino Gauntlet match with 'interesting names' as of mid-month, according to Fightful Select. No special names have been confirmed, but the latest backstage update notes that fans can expect 'some top names' to be involved with the match.

Will Ospreay actually won the first two Casino Gauntlet matches in the company's history. The eight-man Dynamite victory in April earned him a successful International Championship match against Roderick Strong at Double Or Nothing, and he will try to regain that title at All In. The nine-man win on Dynamite in May led to The Commonwealth Kingpin coming up short against World Champion Swerve Strickland at Forbidden Door.
