The tournament is being constructed with the goal to have good matches and clean finishes, but there will be a mix of main event and non-main event wrestlers in the tournament. As a result, the tournament might not feel truly top tier in terms of being a dream tournament with a mix of exclusively top names with one dream match after another.<\/p>\n<p>There is already concern about wrestlers politicking to Tony Khan with ideas for themselves that could get in the way of a larger vision for the tournament, which is telling certain stories that focus on certain wrestlers while others will be asked to lose clean at key points along the way.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This Wednesday, Thanksgiving Eve, AEW Continental Classic Selection Special, all 12 fighters announced, interviews + more!<br \/>The Selection Special streams this Wednesday + that same night, celebrate Thanksgiving Eve with Continental Classic matches this Wednesday on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWDynamite<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6rOW22LaWA\">pic.twitter.com\/6rOW22LaWA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TonyKhan\/status\/1726752425162207672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 21, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/11\/20\/aew-full-gear-ppv-hits-misses-11-18-toni-storm-wrestling-her-gimmick-cole-mjf-white-saga-ospreay-announcement-zero-hour-pre-show-hangman-vs-swerve-more\/\">AEW FULL GEAR PPV HITS &amp; MISSES (11\/18): Toni Storm wrestling her gimmick, Cole-MJF-White saga, Ospreay announcement, Zero Hour pre-show, Hangman vs. Swerve, more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2023\/11\/20\/defy-wrestling-genesis-results-vetters-review-of-iwgp-heavyweight-champion-sanada-vs-cody-chhun-viva-van-vs-nicole-matthews-for-the-pcw-ultra-womens-title-mike-bailey-vs-judas-icarus\/\">Defy Wrestling \u201cGenesis\u201d results: Vetter\u2019s review of IWGP Heavyweight Champion Sanada vs. Cody Chhun, Viva Van vs. Nicole Matthews for the PCW Ultra Women\u2019s Title, Mike Bailey vs. Judas Icarus<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-meta\">\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4275096587\"><div id=\"pwtor-1918649883\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Tony Khan announced on Twitter\/X that the Continental Classic competitors will be revealed in their entirety in an AEW Continental Classic Selection Special this Wednesday.
