In the last edition of “Being The Elite”, it was also announced that the Over the Budget Battle Royale will be renamed the Casino Battle Royale. This goes far beyond a simple name change, as the match in question will involve various stipulations. This 21-man battle royal will start with 5 men. From there, a wave of 5 competitors will make their way to the ring in 3-minute intervals.
The final competitor, dubbed “Lucky 21,” will enter the match solo. Entry numbers will be made at a later date. It hasn’t been made official who will enter at certain numbers. AEW Executive Vice-President Cody announced that the winner will receive a prize.
The Over Budget Battle Royale will now be known as the #CasinoBattleRoyale #AEW #DoubleOrNothing
