The 2025 AEW: All In Casino Battle Royal is one of the more exciting matches of the year and after opening the match, MJF was able to win the match and get a future shot at the AEW World Championship match. It will be interesting to see what happens going forward with the championship, but MJF is officially the number-one contender for the AEW World Championship with this win.
The AEW World Championship has been one of the biggest prizes in the wrestling world, and at AEW: All In 2025, MJF was able to win the men’s Casino Battle Royal match to get a future AEW Championship match. This match was the longest since its inception, as 14 wrestlers would enter the rin,g and we saw some surprises with Juice Robinson and The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) return to the company. However, MJF was able to win the match after Mark Briscoe hit Roderick Strong with a Jay Driller and MJF threw Briscoe out of the ring to get the pinfall victory.
It is unclear (and potentially being intentional) if this will be viewed similarly to WWE’s Money in the Bank concept or if it will be a future match.
This is also potentially going to add a wrinkle as he is part of The Hurt Syndicate and could see either Bobby Lashley or Shelton Benjamin go after him if he were able to capture the AEW World Champion. With the main event of AEW: All In being a Texas Deathmatch, could MJF potentially cash in to end the show and become the new champion? It will be interesting to see exactly how things play out for the remainder of the show.
