Moxley has defended his title twice since earning it in October, most recently prevailing in a four-way at AEW Worlds End. The upcoming matchup confirms that he will defend his title on TV for the first time later this month.
A Casino Gauntlet match sees wrestlers enter the ring on a timed basis similar to a Royal Rumble. The match comes to an end after the first time a wrestler scores a pinfall or submission.
No entrants have been confirmed for the match yet.
