In an interview that debuted prior to Dynamite, Khan said that whoever holds the title after November’s annual Full Gear pay-per-view will get an automatic spot in the Classic. However, the titleholder will have to win the tournament final at December’s Worlds End PPV in order to keep their championship.

Khan also reiterated that the rules around the Continental title will remain the same: no interference and no one allowed at ringside.
@Neon_Carnivore @GeekFTW I don’t mind a title being reset every year with a tournament and otherwise working like a regularly championship. I forgot that the rankings were back, in which case it does matter more that Okada got a shot out of nowhere. However, I don’t feel like they’ve referenced the rankings that much in general. Still not convinced they’re a good idea, but I’m open to seeing more.
100% expecting the rankings to probably be gone again by the end of the year lol. I like em, I just don’t see TK utilizing them properly.
