The Casino Battle Royale is back for All Out. This time, it will be all women competing for a shot to become the inaugural AEW Women’s World Champion.

Before Double or Nothing, there was the Buy In pre-show which featured the Casino Battle Royale to determine who would compete at All Out for the AEW World Championship. Now, it’s the women’s turn.

Here’s how it works: Each person will pick a card and the selected suit determines which group the wrestler is in. Every three minutes, the deck is shuffled to see which suit comes up. After all suits have been used, the wrestler who drew the Joker will come out last. Competitors are eliminated when they go over the top rope. There are 21 participants, so people we don’t expect will likely be involved.

The winner of the Casino Battle Royale will face the winner of Riho vs. Hikaru Shida at AEW’s first TNT show on October 2.

On episode four of Road to All Out, three participants were announced: Teal Piper (daughter of Roddy), Jazz and Ivelisse. Sadie Gibbs, Brandi Rhodes, Britt Baker, Big Swole, Nyla Rose, Yuka Sakazaki, Shazza McKenzie and Allie will also be participating.

That leaves spots for women already signed to AEW’s roster. We’ll probably see Bea Priestley, Penelope Ford, Awesome Kong and Leva Bates. Kylie Ray is also on the roster, but has rumored to be dealing with personal issues and hasn’t been used since Double or Nothing. Assuming these women also enter the Casino Battle Royale, that will leave four (or five, depending on Kylie Rae) spots. We’ve seen Aja Kong make an appearance at Fight for the Fallen. Will she also participate?
