The first-ever AEW National Champion has been crowned, and it’s a perhaps unsurprising superstar that got the win.
During AEW Full Gear, a Casino Gauntlet Match was held to determine the winner of the newly introduced belt. In a hard-fought bout that included superstars like Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Matt Menard, Daniel Garcia, and more, it was Ricochet who would come out on top.
Toward the end of the match, Ricochet hit Kevin Knight with a Spirit Gun, and that was all it took for him to grab the win. After the match, he celebrated with his group, who lifted Ricochet up on their shoulders.
The full list of entrants for the Casino Gauntlet Match is as follows:
- Bobby Lashley
- Shelton Benjamin
- Ricochet
- Claudio Castagnoli
- Daniel Garcia
- Orange Cassidy
- Wheeler Yuta
- Kevin Knight
- Roderick Strong
- Mark Davis
- ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey
- ‘Daddy Magic’ Matt Menard
