The Continental Classic tournament will begin this Wednesday on Dynamite and end on December 28 at the pay-per-view event, Worlds End. AEW announced the participants on a Selection Special stream. The tournament will feature twelve wrestlers divided into two groups: the Blue League and the Gold League. The winners from each league will compete at Worlds End.

Participants:

Blue League:

  • Kazuchika Okada (AEW Continental Champion)
  • Kyle Fletcher
  • Daniel Garcia (TNT Champion)
  • The Beast Mortos
  • Mark Briscoe
  • Shelton Benjamin

Gold League:

  • Will Ospreay
  • Juice Robinson
  • Brody King
  • Ricochet
  • Claudio Castagnoli (AEW Trios Champion)
  • Darby Allin

Each match will have a 20-minute time limit, and no one will be allowed at ringside. A win earns three points, a draw gives one point to each wrestler, and a loss earns zero points.

Eddie Kingston won last year’s Continental Classic by defeating Bryan Danielson in the finals. His victory unified the AEW Continental, ROH World, and New Japan Strong titles.
