Two new No. 1 contenders for the AEW World Championship and the AEW Women's World Championship have been decided, though we don't know when they'll get their title matches, as these were determined in the Casino Gauntlet matches at AEW All In: Texas 2025.
MJF came out on top of the Men's Casino Gauntlet match, while ROH Women's World Champion Athena was the victor of the Women's Casino Gauntlet match.
Match Details:
MJF won this match by scoring a pinfall over Roderick Strong, following Mark Briscoe hitting a Jay Driller. MJF tossed Briscoe off the potential cover and stole it.
The entry order for the Men's Casino Gauntlet match was: Mark Briscoe, MJF, Ricochet, Bandido, Konosuke Takeshita, Mistico, Josh Alexander, Anthony Bowens, Roderick Strong, Brody King, Juice Robinson, Kota Ibushi, The Beast Mortos, and Max Caster.
When it comes to the women's Casino Gauntlet match, Athena won with a pinfall over Mina Shirakawa. Noteworthy, both Athena and Shirakawa wrestled last night and won their respective matches at ROH Supercard of Honor, with Athena retaining her ROH Women's World Championship and Shirakawa winning the interim ROH Women's World Television Championship in a four-way against Yuka Sakazaki, Persephone, and Miyu Yamashita.
The entry order for that match was Kris Statlander, Megan Bayne, Willow Nightingale, Tay Melo, Thekla, Julia Hart, Queen Aminata, Mina Shirakawa, Athena, Thunder Rosa, Syuri, and finally Alex Windsor.
Personal Reactions & What Happens Next?:
Since this event isn't over yet, there is still a chance we see either of these two cash in on Jon Moxley/Hangman Adam Page or Mercedes Mone/Toni Storm. I don't necessarily think that will happen, though, but it is at least making me think more that Page has a better shot at winning the title and that Mone is guaranteed to beat Storm.
