Bryan Danielson to call out Kazuchika Okada on AEW Dynamite
It looks like Kazuchika Okada will be appearing on AEW television in advance of Forbidden Door.
AEW has announced that Bryan Danielson will call out Okada on Dynamite this Wednesday. The episode is taking place in Chicago and is the final Dynamite before Forbidden Door.
Tony Khan tweeted: “TOMORROW at Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite, @bryandanielson will call out @rainmakerXokada live on TBS, ahead of the historic Okada vs Danielson Dream Match at #ForbiddenDoor on PPV THIS SUNDAY! Don’t miss Wednesday Night Dynamite LIVE on @TBSNetwork at 8pm ET/ 7pm CT TOMORROW!”
The match between Danielson and Okada will be the first time they’ve ever wrestled each other. They’ve yet to have any face-to-face interactions during the Forbidden Door build. At NJPW Dominion earlier this month, a video aired where Danielson challenged Okada to face him.
Okada’s first AEW TV appearance took place in 2022 with him appearing on Dynamite’s go-home show for last year’s Forbidden Door.
The updated lineup for Wednesday’s Dynamite is listed below:
- Bryan Danielson calls out Kazuchika Okada
- TBS Champion Kris Statlander defends against Taya Valkyrie
- Concession stand brawl: Jeff Jarrett vs. Mark Briscoe
