As matches on the All Out card continue to be revealed, AEW also continues to reveal more names of confirmed entrants in the women’s Casino Battle Royal. Like the men’s Casino Battle Royal at Double or Nothing, it will be on the pre-show of the pay-per-view, determine a number one contender or the world championship (here the AEW Women’s World Championship), have kind of weird new battle royal rules, and included twenty-one competitors.
AEW doesn’t have that many women on their roster (they officially have eleven right now) so they’ve enlisted some pretty cool names from outside the company. Previous, they announced that Jazz, Ivelisse, and Teal Piper, the daughter of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper who will be making her pro wrestling debut at All Out and who, per a press release, signed with WOW Women of Wrestling soon after her participation was announced.
Today, AEW announced two more entrants: Aerial Monroe and Sadie Gibbs.
Sadie Gibbs is already a member of the AEW roster, but this will be her first match for the company. She was first associated with AEW wrestlers in January when Matt Jackson of the Young Bucks tweeted at her supportively when she got flack for leaving her first tour of Stardom early following the death of a family member. Gibbs is a British wrestler with a gymnastics background that’s apparent in her in-ring style and though she hasn’t been wrestling for all that long, it’s clear she has a lot of potential.

Amerian wrestler “Big Swole” Aerial Monroe is the current Phoenix of Rise Champion and a former WWE Mae Young Classic competitor, and a rising star on the independent wrestling circuit. (She was also interviewed by Uproxx a few months ago.)
For those keeping track, these means there are currently ten women officially in the Casino Battle Royal (with two other members of the women’s roster unlikely to compete because they’re in a singles match already): Sadie Gibbs, Aerial Monroe, Jazz, Ivelisse, Teal Piper, Brandi Rhodes, Nyla Rose, Britt Baker, Yuka Sakazaki, and Allie.
