Christian Cage always finds a way.

In the Casino Gauntlet Match at AEW All In, Christian Cage came away victorious, defeating Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, "Hangman" Adam Page, Mark Briscoe, Kyle O'Reilly, Kazuchika Okada, Jeff Jarett, Nigel McGuinness, Zack Sabre Jr, Ricochet and Killswitch. In the process, Christian earned a guaranteed shot at the AEW World Championship that he can cash in anytime he chooses.

The match itself was full of surprises, including the AEW debut of Ricochet, the return to wrestling of Nigel McGuinness, and what looked to be the return of Luchasaurus. However, it was all swerve as Killswitch would Chokeslam Kyle O'Reilly, and instead of attacking Christian Cage for the months of abuse, he threw Christian on top of O'Reilly so that Christian could get the victory.

Other important stories in the match included the continuing rivalry between Jeff Jarrett and Adam Page, as Page was effectively taken out of the match by a Jeff Jarrett guitar shot. Nigel McGuinness held his own in his first match in almost 13 years. While it was unclear whether he would be wrestling more moving forward, Taz joked on commentary that he might have to work Saturdays now based on how well Nigel was doing.

As mentioned above, Cage can now cash in his guaranteed shot at a title whenever he chooses. Christian Cage, Killswitch, and Nick Wayne lost the AEW World Trios Titles to Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Wheeler Yuta earlier in the night.
