Wrestling Meets Poker: Kasey Mills Brings AEW Fans to the Felt
When you think of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), poker probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But thanks to PokerNOW and Kasey Mills, known in the poker world as PokerMommaa, that is starting to change.
Kasey has teamed up with AEW and Poker Now to host a monthly series that blends poker, pro wrestling personalities and fan engagement into one fun and memorable night. The crossover is proving that the connection between wrestling and poker is easier and more aligned than many expected.
Wrestling Stars, Poker Tables, and Plenty of Banter
On the first Monday of every month, AEW wrestlers trade the ring for the virtual felt, joining Kasey and fans for live poker streamed on Poker Now.
It is not about high-stakes strategy or perfect play, though some wrestlers surprise viewers with their skills. Instead, it is about entertainment. Fans see a different side of their favorite AEW stars as they joke, bluff, share stories and mix it up with viewers in real time.
The shows are still in their early days, which makes them feel even more personal. Fans who tune in now are part of a niche but growing community where interaction and access are front and center.
Why Fans Are Showing Up and Sticking Around
AEW already offers plenty of ways to engage fans, from live events to weekly shows. This partnership adds something new: a space where fans can sit “at the table” with their favorite stars instead of watching from the stands.
There are also real prizes on the line. Winners of the AEW Deepstack Freeroll tournaments can take home AEW Shop gift cards and exclusive merchandise. Poker Now PLUS subscribers who win can even earn live tickets to AEW shows. Recently, one fan won two seats to an AEW event by topping the field.
Kasey’s Role as Host
At the center of it all is Kasey Mills. As a poker personality and streamer, she knows how to keep things fun and approachable for new players while still giving experienced poker fans a reason to watch.
Her ability to balance structure with spontaneity makes her the perfect bridge between AEW talent and fans who may be discovering poker for the first time. She doesn’t just run the game, she creates an atmosphere where everyone feels included.
The Bigger Picture
What makes this collaboration so interesting is not just the prizes or the novelty of watching wrestlers bluff each other. It is the way it highlights poker as a cultural connector.
Poker has always been more than cards. It is a platform for conversation, competition and community. By pairing it with wrestling, AEW and Poker Now are tapping into that spirit and giving fans a new way to connect with the brand.
For Above the Felt, it is exciting to see our talent leading the way in these crossovers. It is another example of poker stepping outside traditional boundaries and creating unique, memorable experiences.
