Women's 4-Way Match for No. 1 Casino Gauntlet Position: ROH Women’s World Champion Athena vs. Willow Nightingale vs. Thunder Rosa vs. Kris Statlander

Four of AEW's fiercest competitors collide in a critical 4-Way match to determine the top position in the Casino Gauntlet at AEW All In: Texas. Willow Nightingale, reigning ROH Women's World Champion Athena, Thunder Rosa, and Kris Statlander each aim to cement their spot and build critical momentum heading into the massive summer spectacle. With past rivalries and future ambitions colliding, expect high stakes and unmatched intensity.

Women's 4-Way Match for No. 1 Casino Gauntlet Position: ROH World Champion Bandido vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Mark Briscoe vs. Roderick Strong

Another thrilling 4-Way showdown will decide the leading contender position for the men's Casino Gauntlet. Konosuke Takeshita, "The Sussex County Chicken" Mark Briscoe, Roderick Strong, and ROH World Champion Bandido square off in an action-packed clash. 

Each competitor brings unique strengths and championship experience, promising a match that fans won't soon forget. Bandido, Briscoe and Strong have also all been at odds in varying capacities with the Don Callis Family of late, which means that Takeshita almost certainly won’t have any friends in the ring tonight.

Kota Ibushi vs. Trent Berreta: Ibushi Returns to AEW Competition

“The Golden Star” Kota Ibushi steps back into an AEW ring to face RPG Vice's Trent Beretta in singles competition. After returning to support Kenny Omega in his ongoing conflict with the Don Callis Family on last Saturday’s AEW Collision, Ibushi looks to demonstrate his dominance against Beretta, a friend and now stablemate of AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada in the Don Callis Family.

The Hurt Syndicate Addresses The People

Following the shocking unmasking of the legendary luchador Místico by MJF at AEW Grand Slam Mexico—and the subsequent save by JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & "Speedball" Mike Bailey)—The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF, and MVP) will appear live to address their actions and AEW's increasingly crowded tag team title picture. With multiple teams eyeing championship gold, tensions and confrontations are guaranteed to escalate.
