Kazuchika Okada will defend the AEW International Championship against Konosuke Takeshita at Double Or Nothing on Sunday, May 24. The match was officially confirmed on the April 17 episode of AEW Collision.
The bout was originally agreed to before AEW Dynasty, with Okada and Takeshita working together against the Young Bucks as part of the arrangement. However, Takeshita walked out on Okada during that tag team match, leaving the champion to take the pinfall loss.
Don Callis Attempts to Cancel the Match
On Collision, Don Callis attempted to void the agreement, arguing that Takeshita’s actions at Dynasty nullified the deal. Callis stated he could get Okada out of the Double Or Nothing match given how Takeshita didn’t uphold his end of the bargain.
Okada rejected that decision, insisting he still wanted the match. The champion made it clear he welcomes the challenge, pointing out that he is a champion unlike Takeshita.
