If you dropped the Peaky Blinders into a fight with no rules, no alliance, and no mercy, the outcome would get ugly fast. These characters have killed without blinking, they’ve betrayed their own, and they’ve stared death in the face more than once. Strip away the suits, the hierarchy, and the politics, and it’s just muscle instinct and strategy.
This isn’t about who looks tough or who yells the loudest; it’s about who can keep their head while everyone else is bleeding out. Some would go down fast, maybe too fast for anyone to notice. Others would fight like hell and still lose. The ones who survive would do it through a mix of brains and brutality. No one wins cleanly in a setup like this, and no one walks away untouched.
Every name on this list has a reason to be here. Some of them are unpredictable, some of them are dangerous, and some of them are just lucky. But there’s only one who knows how to play the long game while making sure no one sees the next move coming. When it’s all said and done, Tommy Shelby doesn’t just survive; he outsmarts and outlasts them all.
If the Peaky Blinders faced off in a battle royale, who’d be the last one standing?
8. Michael Gray

Michael would walk into this fight thinking he already won it. His confidence comes from boardroom wins and long-term schemes, but he has never proven himself in a direct fight. He relies on planning and manipulation, but in close quarters that does not help.
He would try to align with someone early, maybe Finn or Alfie, but that deal would collapse fast. Michael would fall because he is not used to violence without rules. In Peaky Blinders, his move against Tommy ends with him staring at death. In this fight, that ending arrives quicker and with no second chances.
7. Finn Shelby

Finn tries to act like the older Shelbys, but he is not built like them. His instincts are weak, and when it matters most, he freezes. His biggest mistake was trusting Billy Grade, which nearly cost the family everything.
In this fight he would strike out too fast just to prove himself. Someone like Jessie or Aberama would see through it and take him out quick. Finn does not survive long because he still needs guidance. In Peaky Blinders, Tommy leaves him out of the final plan for a reason. That same reason gets him killed here.
6. Arthur Shelby

Arthur starts with force. He would be the loudest and the first to kill. His strength is unmatched, and we have seen what he can do when he snaps. He beat a man practically to death in the ring without blinking.
But that same fire eats him alive. Arthur has no control and no sense of timing. He burns out, and that makes him a target. In Peaky Blinders, others always have to clean up his mess. In this fight, no one does. He might take two or three down before someone calmer and smarter puts him out for good.
5. Alfie Solomons

Alfie leads with confusion. He talks in circles and throws people off balance. That works for a while. In Peaky Blinders, he fools everyone from Tommy to the Italians with half-truths and distractions.
But this is not business. His body is failing due to his cancer, and he is half-blind. In a fight without rules, he moves too slow. He might talk his way past someone like Finn, but once the blood starts, he is in trouble. Without time to manipulate the board, Alfie runs out of tricks. His mouth buys him minutes, but his body cannot buy him a win.
4. Aberama Gold

Aberama is a fighter by nature. We have seen him stab men cleanly and disappear into shadows. His best move is speed. He does not talk much. He just ends threats. In Peaky Blinders, he handles violence like routine work.
He lasts longer than most because he does not waste time. But Aberama dies when emotion gets in the way. He is loyal to Polly, and that makes him act without thinking. That mistake cost him his life once, and it costs him again here. He dies protecting someone instead of finishing the job.
3. Jessie Eden

Jessie does not start fights, but she finishes what she believes in. In Peaky Blinders, she goes toe-to-toe with Tommy in politics and never backs down. That same grit gets her deep into this battle.
She avoids early bloodshed and strikes when it matters. Someone like Michael would not see her coming. But Jessie is not built for pure violence. Tommy knows her mind better than anyone. He takes her out clean. Not because she is weak but because she is too good to play dirty. She dies standing up, which is the only way she knows how.
2. Polly Gray

Polly is smart enough to avoid most of the fights. She waits and watches. In Peaky Blinders, she shoots a man in cold blood and handles the aftermath like it is paperwork. No one plays long-term strategy better than Polly.
She outsmarts Arthur and stalls Tommy for a while. She might even get Aberama on her side again. But when it comes down to the last move, she hesitates. She cannot kill Tommy. That choice will get her killed. Not because she lacks power but because loyalty still matters to her. And in this fight, that becomes a fatal decision.
1. Tommy Shelby (Winner)

Tommy does not rush. He watches everyone fall apart. In Peaky Blinders, he wins not by strength but by knowing what each person will do before they do it. He would do the same here. He lets Arthur burn out and lets Michael overreach.
He keeps Polly close and would take her out only when no option is left. He gives Alfie just enough rope and pulls it tight at the end. No emotion, just calculation. Tommy wins because he knows this world better than anyone. He survives because everyone else underestimates just how far he is willing to go.
