AEW Announces First-Ever Women's Casino Gauntlet Match; Guaranteed Title Match For Winner

AEW is presenting their Men's Casino Gauntlet Match on Wednesday's Dynamite, with the winner earning a World Heavyweight Title match against Jon Moxley at Jan. 15's Maximum Carnage event at The Andrew J. Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Now, the women will get the same opportunity with the same stakes. 

AEW CEO and Owner Tony Khan took to his personal Twitter account to formally announce the Women's Casino Gauntlet Match on next week's AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage. The winner gets a crack at the AEW Women's Championship at AEW Grand Slam Australia on Saturday, Feb. 15, from the Brisbane Entertainment Complex in Brisbane, Australia. Currently, the champion is Mariah May.

No entrants have been announced for the matchup at this time of writing.

The rules for the Casino Gauntlet Match are that two wrestlers kick things, and new participants are added at regular time periods. A winner is determined when the first pin occurs. 

Beyond those two matches at AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage, the only other bout made official is Hook battling Christian Cage. 

Wednesday's AEW Dynamite occurs at the F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tenn. Scheduled for the show are appearances by Kenny Omega, Jeff Jarrett, and MJF. Bouts include Will Ospreay taking on Buddy Matthews, The Men's Casino Gauntlet Match, and Bobby Lashley vs. Mark Briscoe.
