A new number one contender for the AEW World Title.

AEW brought back the Casino Gauntlet match at All In and the winner secured a shot at the AEW World Championship at any time of their choosing.

The first surprise entrant of the match was Nigel McGuinness. He entered in at the number three spot while Orange Cassidy and International Champion Kazuchika Okada were in the ring. Earlier in the show, McGuinness was on commentary. It was his first match since 2011. 

Following up at number five was 2024 G1 Climax winner Zack Sabre Jr. There was a standing ovation for his face-off with McGuinness.

Joining the fray was Ricochet, who wrapped up with WWE this summer. AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that Ricochet is signed to All Elite Wrestling. 

The second to last entrant was Christian Cage. Cage, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne lost their World Trios Championships in the opener. Luchasaurus entered the match last and he assisted Cage to victory. Christian is now set up for his second AEW World Title opportunity in 2024.
