AEW Continental Classic Standings With One Round Left
The AEW Continental Classic tournament is nearing its conclusion with at least one match left for the twelve competitors.
At AEW Worlds End on December 30th, one man will be crowned the winner of the Continental Classic tournament. That winner will become the new AEW Continental Champion that will merge with the ROH World Title and NJPW Strong Openweight Title.
The Continental Classic is a 12-man tournament with a Gold League bracket and a Blue League bracket consisting of six wrestlers in each group. Each entrant will compete in five individual matches vying to become the top points earner in their league. The Blue League and Gold League finals will take place on the December 27th episode of AEW Dynamite. The winners of those matches will meet at the Worlds End PPV to determine the Continental Classic winner.
On AEW Collision in Garland, Texas, three more Blue League matches took place. Claudio Castagnoli defeated Andrade El Idolo to give Andrade his first loss in the tournament. Meanwhile, Eddie Kingston defeated Daniel Garcia and the main event of the show saw Bryan Danielson defeat Brody King.
There were four AEW Continental Classic tournament matches in the Gold League this past Wednesday on AEW Dynamite. In the main event, Jon Moxley defeated Swerve Strickland in a match between two undefeated men going into it.
