AEW just loaded up the Men’s Casino Gauntlet for All In: Texas — and it’s starting to look like a must-watch war.

On the July 9th episode of AEW Dynamite, three major names were officially confirmed for the match: Ricochet, Brody King, and ROH World Champion Bandido. Ricochet earned his spot after defeating Blake Christian, while Brody and Bandido teamed up earlier in the night in a losing effort against Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher.

These three join MJF, Mistico, and Mark Briscoe as confirmed entrants in the Gauntlet — a match with a twist: it can end before everyone has even entered. Victory comes by pinfall or submission, and timing is everything.

Briscoe and MJF will kick off the match as the first two entrants. And MJF already has his eyes on the prize — he’s publicly declared that if he wins the Gauntlet and Jon Moxley is still AEW World Champion after his Texas Deathmatch against Hangman Page, then MJF will cash in that same night.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. With big names piling in and a surprise ending always possible, this Casino Gauntlet could steal the entire weekend.

Do you think MJF is playing smart by planning to cash in at the end of the night? Or is he setting himself up for disaster? Let us know your take in the comments.
