About This Tournament
The AEW Continental Challenge Cup is a 16-wrestler, single-elimination tournament for the AEW Continental Championship. The reigning champion, Jon Moxley, competes alongside 15 other wrestlers, with the championship and Continental Challenge Cup awarded to the tournament winner.
Instead of using a predetermined bracket, the first-round matchups in this tournament were determined by random drawing. The eight winners will advance to another random drawing to determine the quarterfinal matchups. The process continues until four wrestlers reach the semifinals, and then the tournament final.
The semifinals take place during AEW Dynamite in Glasgow, Scotland, on August 26th, with the tournament concluding at AEW All In: London at Wembley Stadium on August 30th.
All matches are contested under Continental Rules, which prohibit managers, teammates, and other representatives from accompanying wrestlers ringside.
Tournament Bracket
Matchups in the Quarterfinals and Semifinals were determined by a random draw rather than by bracket position.
