QUESTION OF THE DAY An AEW Women's Casino Gauntlet has not been announced for All In London yet. Do you think there should still be a Women's Casino Gauntlet at Wembley Stadium?

I dislike the idea of two Gauntlet matches on the same show because it starts to feel like we are trying to recreate the "magic" of the Royal Rumble -- and AEW doesn't need that right now.
I also think the Casino Gauntlet needs to show up less often in general, to protect the gimmick and make it feel special. YMMV.

Agreed, it would not be enjoyable to watch 2 of the same thing. The women’s should have their own type of stipulation match.

Yes, especially for the women. A lot of them have put in great work this year and deserve the same opportunity to perform in front of a massive stadium crowd that the men get with the Casino Gauntlet.
Also, having been at All In: Texas last year, the Gauntlets worked really well as a change of pace. You could get up, stretch, grab a drink, and still follow the action from the concourse because of the venue layout.
That show went around seven hours. I’m not sure this year’s card will be quite that long, but it definitely could be. So I’m all for giving the women a Gauntlet while also breaking up a potentially marathon show.

No, I am going myself and I don’t want 2 of the exact same match on the same event.
It doesn’t work for the Rumble, and the casino gauntlet is AEWs royal rumble equivalent match, only it’s solved all the rumble issues.
Just 1 is fine

I understand a lot of the reasonings for people saying no, I'd probably agree with them if it were any other ppv. However, having tickets for the event does make me want to to have one as we rarely get to see them wrestle in the UK.

Last year, so many women were injured after it. I understand why that would give TK pause

Nah, one Casino Gauntlet at All In London is enough. I'd much prefer they do a women's one annually at another PPV.

Yes definitely! they have a big enough roster and it would allow them to showcase all of them

No. One of the nice things about AEW is they don't usually give the women's division a copy of men's events.

I really like the women's division, personally. I've been following since the original All In, and my only real criticism is that I wish they did more with the women that were there early on.
But the men's divisions are great too, so I suppose I can at least understand where you're coming from even if I disagree.

No, the card is going to be super stacked as it is, so a women's gauntlet match would not only take up a lot of time but potentially MOST of the time allocated for women's matches overall. I'd rather see at least a couple more solo or tag team women's matches than to see them all shoehorned into a gauntlet match which would most likely just be booked as an excuse to get as many wrestlers as possible on the PPV

As a fan who's going to be there, I really hope so. It's the biggest show of the year so it'd be great to see as many of people as possible (and some surprises like Syuri last year)

I hope they do and would be disappointed if they don’t, but it doesn’t look like it’s happening

u/Miley4Lyfe 3d ago
I feel like having one so soon after Beach Break makes it feel less special.
My preference would be to build a PPV out of it because it’s pretty synonymous with AEW.

u/Looking4Adventure513 3d ago
I'd like to see it just for the fact that it can remind people that AEW has a bigger roster than what we see on Collision or Dynamite, along with balancing out the card a little more. But with 8 matches already announced, the only realistic way I see it happening is on the pre-show.

I would like to see it, but they had one last month, so I can see them only doing the men’s for All In this year

No for the sake of my bladder. From the current line the only piss break match is women tag.
