The participants in the 2024 AEW Continental Classic round-robin tournament have been revealed.
The promotion released a ‘Selection Special’ on its YouTube channel on Sunday night with Tony Schiavone making the announcements.
Like last year, there will be two blocks of six wrestlers, the Gold League and the Blue League. Every entrant will compete in one-on-one matches with the others in their league. A win will be worth 3 points, with 1 point for a draw.

Below are the competitors announced on Sunday in each block.
