Updated Continental Classic standings after 12/2 AEW Dynamite

Updated Continental Classic standings after 12/2 AEW Dynamite – AEW returned to tournament action on 12/3 episode of Dynamite from Fishers, Indiana, delivering key results that reshaped both the Gold and Blue league standings in the Continental Classic. With three matches featured on the broadcast, several early front-runners began to emerge as the field tightened heading into Saturday’s Collision.

The show opened with a rematch from the 2024 Dynasty event as Kazuchika Okada finally secured his first win of the Gold League by defeating PAC. Okada, who dropped his opening match to Kyle Fletcher, entered the bout needing points to stay competitive in the standings. PAC, coming off a victory over “Speedball” Mike Bailey, pushed the pace as expected, but Okada closed strong to capture an important three points and keep himself within reach of the league leaders.

Momentum continued for Fletcher later in the night during his bout with Kevin Knight. The two delivered a fast, athletic match that highlighted Fletcher’s rising confidence in tournament play. By scoring the pinfall over Knight, Fletcher improved to 2-0, placing him atop the Gold League at six points. Knight, now 1-1, remains in contention but will need to rebound in his next appearance.

The Blue League main event featured an intense clash between two members of the Death Riders as newly crowned CMLL World Champion Claudio Castagnoli met faction leader Jon Moxley. The match turned physical early, with Moxley bleeding heavily by the closing stretch. Castagnoli capitalized late with a decisive uppercut that secured the pin and moved him to six points, giving him a strong early advantage in the league.

Castagnoli is set to face Mascara Dorada on Saturday’s Collision, where he will look to extend his lead. Moxley will enter a critical matchup against IWGP World Champion Konosuke Takeshita as he aims to rebound and keep himself in the running.

Updated standings were presented following Dynamite, giving fans a clear picture of the tournament landscape. In the Gold League, Kyle Fletcher sits at six points, with PAC, Okada, and Knight each holding three. The Blue League mirrors that structure, with Castagnoli leading at six and both Moxley and Takeshita sitting at three.

Saturday’s Collision will feature three Blue League bouts: Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong, Claudio Castagnoli vs. Mascara Dorada, and Jon Moxley vs. Konosuke Takeshita. All matches will carry major implications as the Continental Classic continues to unfold across AEW programming, with complete coverage available at WrestlingAttitude.Com.
