Casino Gauntlet Match Returns for AEW All In
AEW announced the return of its popular Casino Gauntlet match at the upcoming All In event. The gauntlet, known for its unpredictable lineup and sudden eliminations by pinfall or submission, was last seen at All In 2024, where Christian Cage secured victory and a shot at the AEW World Championship. This match format continues to excite fans, with speculation rising over which AEW stars will enter the ring this year in Arlington.
The Conglomeration Expands with a New Member
This week on AEW Collision, Mark Briscoe shared that Hologram had joined the Conglomeration, adding a cutting-edge twist to the evolving faction. In a Trios contest, Briscoe, Hologram, and Willow Nightingale teamed up against Mace, Mansoor, and Taya Valkyrie. Hologram played a pivotal part in the Conglomeration’s triumph, with Briscoe clinching the win after executing a Froggy Bow on Mansoor.
Throughout its history, the Conglomeration has featured talents such as Briscoe, Nightingale, Orange Cassidy, Tomohiro Ishii, Kyle O’Reilly, and Jay Briscoe. The recent addition of a holographic entity hints at new directions for the group and raises questions about future matchups and dynamics within AEW’s roster.

As anticipation grows for the AEW Women’s World Championship bout, Toni Storm stepped into the spotlight on AEW Collision to directly address her opponent, Mercedes Mone. Storm highlighted Mone’s achievements, noting her historic run as CMLL Women’s World Champion and her barrier-breaking appearances at legendary arenas like Madison Square Garden, the Tokyo Dome, Arena Mexico, and Wembley Stadium.
Despite acknowledging Mone’s celebrated career and calling her “possibly the GOAT,” Storm did not shy away from delivering a blunt message. She declared, quoting directly, “I’m not some other motherf**ker,” emphasizing the seriousness of her defenses and issuing a warning that any misstep from Mone would lead to Storm taking advantage. Storm added that Mone would have to go to great lengths to dethrone her at All In.
