The AEW Continental Classic will return in 2024 with new competitors vying for the AEW Continental Championship, which is currently held by Kazuchika Okada.
The round robin tournament was introduced last year with Eddie Kingston becoming the first-ever AEW Continental Champion.
Speaking to Adam Barnard of Foundation Radio, Mark Briscoe gave the start date for the tournament.
“Continental Classic season is coming up. Thanksgiving Eve, that's the start of the Continental Classic. With [Kazuchika] Okada being the current Continental Champion, he's the focal point. He's the target. I feel like the Continental Classic last year was in a way, in my singles career, it was almost like a coming out party. It was like I got a chance to wrestle four guys in my block. I don't think anybody knew what I could do in singles competition. I didn't really make out too well in the wins and the losses, but I learned, so I didn't lose. I learned. I'm either going to win, or I'm going to learn. Ain't no losing, you understand? I'm looking forward to it, man. I'm looking forward to hopefully being in the Continental Classic this year. But one way or the other, I would love to take on Okada, and I would love to have a Ring of Honor strap here, Continental title here. I think that would look good on me," he said.
AEW has not confirmed the start date or competitors for the Continental Classic. The reigning champion will be part of the tournament.
Fightful has coverage of AEW Dynamite every Wednesday beginning at 8 p.m. ET followed by a post-show review podcast on our YouTube channel.
