Australian wrestler Shazza McKenzie will be taking part in the Casino Battle Royale at All Out.
On Twitter today, AEW confirmed McKenzie as the latest entrant for the match. It’s taking place on Saturday’s All Out pre-show and will feature 21 wrestlers in total.
McKenzie wrote about being in the battle royal: “Everything I did this year in an effort to chase this dream was all for this moment. All I wanted was a chance to prove I could belong on the big stage. But I didn’t come this far to ONLY come this far. I’m coming to WIN! #CasinoBattleRoyale #AEW #ALLOUT”
The Casino Battle Royale will begin with five wrestlers in the ring. A new group of five enters every three minutes after that, then the final participant will enter on their own.
The winner of the Casino Battle Royale will advance to the match to decide the first AEW Women’s Champion. The inaugural champion is being crowned on AEW’s first TV episode on Wednesday, October 2.
The Casino Battle Royale will feature members of AEW’s women’s division and others who aren’t signed with the company. Britt Baker, Nyla Rose, Teal Piper, Ivelisse, Jazz, Big Swole (Aerial Monroe), Sadie Gibbs, and Awesome Kong are among the others who have been confirmed for the match.
