Folks, get ready for a match of epic proportions as two of wrestling’s greatest champions, Bryan Danielson and Kazuchika Okada, prepare to go head-to-head on the fifth anniversary edition of “AEW Dynamite.” Both titles will be on the line in a bout that could reshape the future of AEW as we know it!
After being medically cleared to return, Danielson—ever the competitor—is looking to settle old scores before he hangs up his boots for good. His latest target? None other than The Rainmaker Kazuchika Okada, the current AEW Continental Champion, who recently bested Danielson at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom after Danielson scored a win over Okada at Forbidden Door 2023.
With the rivalry deadlocked at one win apiece, Danielson took to social media and laid down the gauntlet, challenging Okada to a Title vs. Title match. “He broke my arm, he fractured my orbital bone,” Danielson said, noting the grueling battles the two have already fought. Now, both belts—Danielson’s AEW World Championship and Okada’s AEW Continental Championship—will be on the line in what promises to be a monumental bout.
But here’s the twist—there’s a unique stipulation. For the first 20 minutes of the match, both championships are on the line, as per the standard time limit for an AEW Continental Championship match. Once the clock hits 20 minutes, if no one has won, only Danielson’s AEW World Championship will be at stake. This twist means Okada could walk away with two titles, while Danielson’s legacy rides on the line in the toughest match of his career.
This match is set to be one for the ages, folks, and it’s all going down at the five-year anniversary of AEW Dynamite on October 2. You won’t want to miss it!
