The Casino Gauntlet is returning on next week’s episode of
Dynamite. The announcement was made last night by Tony Khan
in a post on X prior to the airing of Dynamite Fight for the
Fallen.

The winner of this battle royal will get a shot at the AEW
World title, currently held by Jon Moxley, at the themed
Maximum Carnage Dynamite on January 15.

On the show last night, former IWGP champion Jay White
earned the first spot in the match after he defeated
Roderick Strong and Swerve Strickland in a three-way match.

While drawing #1 is bad in a regular battle royal, getting
the #1 spot in the Casino Gauntlet is actually the best
outcome as the match can end any time so being the first one
in the match comes with its advantages.
