Following the information drop yesterday, AEW have followed up with two more names for their All Out 21-Woman’s Casino Battle Royale. The first is Sadie Gibbs. The British wrestler who was revealed as All Elite during Double or Nothing. Gibbs has shown her work around the world, hitting it big in Japan and the UK specifically. She has worked for STARDOM in Japan and Pro Wrestling Eve and Wrestle Gate Pro in the UK. This will be her in-ring debut for the company and could potentially see her taken straight to the title scene should she be victorious.
The other is none other than WWE Mae Young Classic 2018 tournament competitor, “Big Swole” Ariel Monroe. Monroe was brought to the spotlight through her participation in the second Mae Young Classic tournament but is also known for her work in RISE, SHIMMER and other US promotions. This will also be her first appearance for the company and it will be interesting to watch her mesh with Gibbs and the other powerhouse women in the Battle Royale.
They will join Yuka Sakazaki, Brandi Rhodes, Dr Britt Baker, Nyla Rose, Allie, Ivelisse, Jazz and Teal Piper in the Battle Royale to determine who will be competing in the first Women’s Title Match. The rules are the same as the previous Casino Battle Royale and see competitors come into the ring as groups decided by which card suit, they’ve drawn. The lucky last entrant will be the woman who has drawn the Joker card.
