Update On AEW Plans For Continental Classic 2024

All Elite Wrestling are readying themselves for the second annual Continental Classic Tournament, with the G-1 style tournament expected in late 2024.

The winner of the tournament will become AEW Continental Champion, with the belt currently held by Kazuchika Okada. Expected tournament competitor and current ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe spoke of the upcoming tourny, saying the following to Adam Barnard of Foundation Radio:

“Continental Classic season is coming up. Thanksgiving Eve [November 27], 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," Briscoe said.

AEW have yet to confirm the start date of the Continental Classic Tournament, nor any of the competitors. The inaugural tournament in 2023 was won by Eddie Kingston.
