Danielson vs. Okada double title match set for AEW Dynamite fifth anniversary
Bryan Danielson wants to face Kazuchika Okada one more time as his Final Countdown continues.
Danielson issued a challenge to Okada for a World title match at this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite fifth anniversary show. Danielson posted the promo with the challenge to his social media accounts Monday night.
AEW later confirmed the bout, with the added twist that Okada’s Continental Championship will also be on the line, but only for the first 20 minutes of the bout, as Continental title bouts have 20-minute time limits, while World title bouts have 60-minute time limits.
Danielson defending the AEW World title against Jon Moxley has already been announced for WrestleDream on Saturday, October 12, and Danielson must retire after his next loss, seemingly telegraphing the finish to the Okada match.
Danielson commented:
“Once and for all, we’ll see who’s the best”
