Kazuchika Okada defeats Kenny Omega, wins AEW Unified Championship at All In
Kazuchika Okada is the inaugural AEW Unified Champion.
He defeated Kenny Omega in a title vs. title winner-takes-all match at AEW All In on Saturday at Globe Life Field. With the win, Okada evens their all-time series at two wins each and one draw.
Omega favored his injured midsection throughout the match, which prevented him from bridging on a suplex and hitting other moves. Near the end of the bout, it appeared Omega had it won after hitting a One Winged Angel, but Don Callis pulled referee Bryce Remsberg out of the ring. Shortly after, Okada hit Omega with a Rainmaker for a two count. Omega nearly scored a pin off a cradle, but Okada kicked out and hit a tilt-a-whirl slam followed by another Rainmaker to get the win.
Earlier this week, Tony Khan revealed on the AEW All In media call that he is not retiring the Continental and International titles. Okada now holds all three championships and can carry around all three belts if he chooses.
