Okada and Takeshita Win Double Jeopardy to Earn AEW Tag Title Shot at WrestleDream

The uneasy Callis Family duo now enters WrestleDream with visible friction.

Overview

  • AEW confirmed Konosuke Takeshita and Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada as the challengers to Brodido for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at WrestleDream.
  • The contenders were decided on Dynamite’s Title Tuesday in a Double Jeopardy Eliminator that offered a tag title shot for a Callis Family win or a Unified title opportunity if a Brodido member scored the pin.
  • Okada sealed the result by tagging himself in on Takeshita and pinning Bandido with the Rainmaker.
  • Tension between the partners was evident, including an apparent accidental knee from Takeshita to Okada during the match and a brief shove after the victory.
  • Bandido worked through a shoulder issue and visibly favored the injury during late exchanges with Takeshita.
