The second-ever AEW Continental Classic will have its participants revealed on "Selection Sunday."
Tony Schiavone made the announcement during Saturday's AEW Full Gear, but did not provide any details on how the names will actually be announced. Last year's inaugural tournament featured a YouTube selection special with Eddie Kingston, Schiavone and Tony Khan.
The tournament begins this Wednesday on Dynamite from Chicago, Illinois, and will likely continue on Collision which is also being taped that night.
No participants have been announced other than reigning Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada who will put his title on the line in the tournament.
Assuming the format is the same as last year, it's a round robin tournament with 12 wrestlers split between two "leagues." Each competitor will have five individual matches in their league as they look to earn points (three for a win, one for a draw) to win their league with each winner facing off in the finals. Like last year, the tournament winner is expected to be crowned at December's Worlds End.
