During the post-Full Gear 2023 media scrum, AEW President Tony Khan provided additional details on the AEW Continental Classic and the title that comes with it.

The winner of the AEW Continental Classic will become the new American Triple Crown Champion and hold the ROH World Championship, the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship, and the new AEW Continental Championship.

Khan noted that the title will be defended throughout the year in AEW, ROH, and NJPW and the champion will be automatically entered into the next Continental Classic tournament.

The matches will follow a round-robin tournament format with two groups of six competitors, with three points for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss.

No one will be allowed at ringside and no interference will be tolerated.

Khan said, “Whoever wins this tournament is gonna come away with a very, very prestigious title. And it’s actually not just creating more championships in wrestling — it’s actually consolidation, but more importantly, it’s cooperation. What this triple crown means is that the winner of this tournament is going to be creating a championship that’s very prestigious, and a champion that represents three different companies.”

Thus far Bryan Danielson, Andrade El Idolo, Mark Briscoe, and Eddie Kingston have been announced for the AEW Continental Classic.

The tournament kicks off on this week’s episode of Dynamite with the finals set for AEW Worlds End on December 20.
