At the Texas Casino Gauntlet event, AEW hosted matches where male and female wrestlers competed against their counterparts. The event kicked off with a men’s match featuring Mark Briscoe and MJF.
A major highlight was the return of Juice Robinson, who had been sidelined since November due to injury. Joining him were his Bang Bang Gang teammates Austin and Colten Gunn. Ultimately, MJF secured the win, guaranteeing himself a future AEW World Title opportunity whenever he chooses.
Later, the event showcased a women’s casino gauntlet that included several notable debuts. Syuri was the first to appear, having recently signed with AEW/ROH at the ROH Supercard of Honor. Another surprise was Alex Windsor, who officially joined AEW a few weeks ago, although she previously competed on Rampage without a contract last year. In the women’s match, ROH Women’s Champion Athena emerged victorious, just like MJF did in the men’s competition.
Fan Take: This event is a significant moment for AEW fans as it not only marks the return of key wrestlers like Juice Robinson but also introduces fresh talent such as Syuri and Alex Windsor. These additions could bring new dynamics and excitement to AEW’s roster, potentially elevating the level of competition and storylines in the promotion.
