Okada Gets a Win, Calls out Swerve

AEW’s newly crowned Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada wasted no time making his presence felt on Dynamite following his victory over Kenny Omega at All In: Texas. Flanked by Don Callis and carrying both the AEW International and Continental Championships, the Rainmaker made his entrance for a rare singles bout against Rafael Quintero.

Okada struck with immediate authority. A boot to the midsection followed by a series of elbows left Quintero staggering. The Unified Champion kept the pressure on, landing a precise and powerful elbow strike before unleashing his signature picture-perfect dropkick — a move Excalibur called “the best in the business.”

Moments later, Okada measured his opponent, pulled him in, and delivered the Rainmaker clothesline with devastating force. It was academic from there.

After the bell, Don Callis grabbed a microphone to introduce the next chapter in Okada’s reign. The champion took center stage and cut straight to the point:

“Swerve! You screwed my friends, the Young Bucks,” Okada said.

The crowd buzzed as Okada referenced the events of All In, where Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay defeated Matt and Nick Jackson, costing them their EVP status and securing the right to challenge for the AEW World Championship within the next year.

Okada didn’t need to say Swerve’s name twice.

Swerve Strickland made his entrance, sharp in a black sequin-studded suit and oozing confidence as he stepped into the ring with the Rainmaker. The two stood nose-to-nose as the crowd erupted.

“I did do that,” Swerve declared. “What you gonna do about it, bitch?”

Before things could erupt, Don Callis stepped between the two, urging Okada to hold back — at least for now.
