MJF Wins Men’s Casino Gauntlet Match at AEW All In: Texas

MJF just reminded everyone who the real main character of AEW is.

The Men’s Casino Gauntlet Match at AEW All In: Texas delivered pure chaos at Globe Life Field, but in the end, it was MJF who walked away with the win—and a future shot at the AEW World Championship. In a bout packed with top-tier names, brutal strikes, and shock returns, MJF used every trick in the book to walk out on top.

The match kicked off with MJF and Mark Briscoe, and things got intense immediately. MJF went for quick pins early, but Briscoe wouldn’t stay down. MJF’s arrogance quickly surfaced, posing for the crowd mid-match and soaking in the boos—until Briscoe lit him up with a series of nasty chops.

As more stars entered—including Ricochet, Bandido, Mistico, Konosuke Takeshita, Josh Alexander, Roderick Strong, Kota Ibushi, and surprise entrant Juice Robinson—the action only got more chaotic. Everyone brought their best, from Mistico’s breathtaking Escalera armdrag to Takeshita’s crushing Blue Thunder Bomb.

Despite being attacked, double-teamed, and nearly submitted multiple times, MJF managed to stay in the fight. He even formed brief alliances when it suited him, like when he and Ricochet ganged up on Briscoe—only to later turn on everyone.

In true MJF fashion, the finish came down to perfect timing. Mark Briscoe hit a brutal Jay Driller on Roderick Strong and looked ready to seal the win. But MJF swooped in, tossed Briscoe out of the ring, and stole the pin for himself, securing the victory and punching his ticket to an AEW World Title opportunity.

After the match, MJF didn’t waste a second soaking up the moment. He grabbed the mic and told the Arlington crowd that “he will be AEW World Champion again”—making it clear this win was just the beginning.

MJF’s sneaky, calculated win proves that when it comes to big-match moments, he’s always two steps ahead. Whether fans love him or hate him, they’ll have to deal with the fact that MJF is coming for the top spot once again.
