On August 24, 2024, Tony Khan, President of All Elite Wrestling (AEW),
announced a modification to the rules governing world title shots earned
through winning a Casino Gauntlet match.

Previously, the contracts awarded to the Casino Gauntlet winner appeared to
guarantee a world title opportunity, but were subject to certain
conditions.

Background: The Casino Gauntlet match

The Casino Gauntlet match is a multi-person, timed elimination match featured
in AEW. It typically involves a series of wrestlers entering at timed
intervals, with the last wrestler remaining earning a notable
opportunity. The match format is inspired by the Royal Rumble match from
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Details of the Rule Change

While the specifics of the rule change were not immediately detailed in the
initial announcement, Khan indicated the change was made to clarify the
conditions surrounding the world title shot. Further details are expected
to be revealed in subsequent announcements.
