Casino Tag Team Royale

In the Casino Tag Team Royale, it is also a rumble rules battle royal, but with 15 teams participating (for a total of 30 wrestlers). The order of entrants is based on a lottery. Two tag teams start the match, and every 90 seconds, a new team enters. Individual eliminations occur when a wrestler has gone over the top rope and both feet hit the floor; a team is eliminated when both members of the team have been ruled out of the match. The match ends when one wrestler or team is left. The winning tag team earns an AEW World Tag Team Championship match.
