The slow build to what many expect will be another meeting at July’s AEW All In Texas continued at Sunday’s AEW Dynasty.Following Kenny Omega’s victory in a three-way with “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Ricochet to retain the AEW International title, reigning Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada’s music hit. He and Omega had a brief staredown in the ring before Omega left.
It was a scene reminiscent of a similar situation at last December’s World End. After Okada won the Continental Classic tournament with a win over Will Ospreay, Omega made his return to AEW following an extensive break due to multiple injuries to go face-to-face with his old rival.Okada and the Young Bucks took Omega out in May 2024 to write him off in storyline, forming the new-look Elite along with Jack Perry.
Both the Bucks and Perry have been off TV for months, leaving Okada as the lone remaining member.The two had a legendary run of matches in NJPW from 2017 to 2018 that ended when Omega defeated his rival for the IWGP Heavyweight title in a best-of-three falls match at June 2018’s Dominion.The RAINMAKER is HERE!Watch #AEWDynasty RIGHT NOW! https://t.
