The AEW Double or Nothing International Title Blackjack Battle Royal received tons of positive reviews, and we've learned some more about it.

Fightful Select was told by many in and surrounding the match that Tony Khan was integral in helping lay out the match and putting things together. We've heard that Khan helps put together or has a hand in almost every battle royal AEW does, and that he's developed a knack for how they work.

We've learned that the match finish was determined the night before, and that Swerve Strickland and Orange Cassidy had some input on how it went down, as well. Several involved in the match were very happy with how it ended up. When it was announced, several didn't know that they would be involved, and there had actually been some discussions about having a standard Casino Battle Royale, until the Blackjack battle royal was decided on.

I was super impressed by Swerve in the Battle Royal, mainly for the finish, to put Orange Cassidy over like that (with the tired kick rather than the orange punch) shows me he has no ego and is willing to do good business, to allow Orange to maximise his tired sloth gimmick.

The final four part banged. The overall execution I felt didn't all work.
