Overview
- Tony Khan said the TNT Championship is vacant after Kyle Fletcher suffered an injury that will keep him out for months, with a return expected later this year.
- AEW will crown a new titleholder in a Casino Gauntlet at the Dynasty pay-per-view, a multi-entrant match with staggered entries designed to produce a winner in one bout.
- Tommaso Ciampa beat Máscara Dorada on Dynamite to earn the first and most favorable entry position in the Gauntlet.
- Fightful reported that Fletcher appeared to injure his lower leg during a recent Collision match, and the Dynamite card was updated to reflect the title vacancy and seeding match.
- AEW often keeps Casino match fields under wraps until showtime, so the final lineup for the Gauntlet may feature surprise entrants and fast-track new storylines around the TNT title.
