The latest episode of AEW’s The Road To Double or Nothing Youtube series provides new information regarding the event’s Casino Battle Royale.
AEW Executive Vice President announced the Casino Battle Royale winner will earn the first shot at the “newly crowned” AEW World Champion.
The wording there is interesting, because AEW has yet to announce when the first AEW World Champion will be crowned. This stipulation implies a champion will be crowned sooner than later. We now know the AEW World Championship has been created, as it was sitting next to Cody (covered) in the video.

AEW Casino Battle Royale Rules
Cody also gave a more in-depth description of the rules for the Casino Battle Royale:
All 21 competitors will randomly select a card from a standard deck.
There will be four groups of wrestlers who will enter the battle royal in waves of five. The suit on the card (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) will correlate to the group they are in. The order of entry for the groups will be randomized.
Every three minutes, a new ‘suit’ group will join the match.
The wrestler who draws the Joker card will have the coveted 21st spot in the battle royal and will enter alone after all four groups have joined the match.
Eliminations take place when a wrestler is thrown over the top rope and both feet touch the floor at ringside.
The last man standing wins the Casino Battle Royale and becomes #1 contender to the “newly crowned” AEW World Champion.
