Kazuchika Okada Wins AEW Continental Classic, Kenny Omega Returns – Kazuchika Okada emerged victorious in the finals of the AEW Continental Classic Tournament at Worlds End, defeating Will Ospreay to retain the AEW Continental Championship. Okada secured the win with his signature Rainmaker, though it took multiple attempts to put Ospreay down, as the resilient challenger kicked out of the first. With this victory, Okada not only retained his title but also became the first defending champion to successfully navigate and win the tournament.
AEW highlighted Okada’s remarkable accomplishment of tying Masahiro Chono’s record with five major tournament victories. Okada’s four NJPW G1 Climax wins now stand alongside this triumph in AEW, solidifying his status as one of the most decorated competitors in professional wrestling history.
Earlier in the evening, Will Ospreay overcame Kyle Fletcher in a grueling semifinal match. Ospreay, who was busted open early, fought through a relentless assault, enduring several Brainbusters and kicks to the head. He ultimately scored the win with a Hurricanrana and a tribute to AJ Styles’ Styles Clash. This result evens the rivalry between Ospreay and Fletcher at 1-1, following Fletcher’s victory at AEW Full Gear.
Okada advanced to the finals by defeating Ricochet in another highly competitive contest. After the match, Ricochet found himself humorously covered in toilet paper, with further details teased at a separate link.
Following Okada’s tournament victory, the returning Kenny Omega confronted him. Christopher Daniels, serving as interim AEW EVP, appeared to crown Okada as the Continental Champion but revealed that Omega, the rightful EVP, had returned. Omega personally presented Okada with the AEW Continental Championship before exiting the ring, adding a dramatic twist to Okada’s historic night.
