This year's Continental Classic Tournament begins tomorrow night. This will feature 12 competitors, split into two leagues, in a round-robin tournament. The top two from each league will head to the semifinals at Worlds End next month. The finals match will also take place during the pay-per-view.

It was revealed at Full Gear that three members of the Don Callis Family have joined the tournament: Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, and Kyle Fletcher. Tony Khan has just announced that the tournament's first contest will feature a Gold League match between Okada and Fletcher.

The two also clashed during last year's tournament, with The Protostar pulling off the upset. Fletcher has entered this year's tournament as he wishes to win gold once more after dropping his TNT Championship to Mark Briscoe.


Which other AEW stars are part of the Continental Classic?

Apart from Kazuchika Okada and Kyle Fletcher, four other individuals are part of the Gold League. They are PAC, Darby Allin, Kevin Knight, and 'Speedball' Mike Bailey. They will all need to face every member of the league once, which will decide who advances to the next part of the tournament.

On the other hand, Konosuke Takeshita headlines the Blue League, and he'll be joined by Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and CMLL's Mascara Dorada.

The tournament is unpredictable, and the stakes are higher this time as the winner will become the Unified Champion, a belt that merges the lineages of both the International and Continental titles. This is a prize that many covet.
