Kazuchika Okada to betray top champion at AEW WrestleDream? Looking at the chances

Kazuchika Okada is one of the key members of the Don Callis Family. Although he joined the group later than the others, his star power makes him a pivotal part of the group. Okada currently holds the AEW Unified Title, but this isn't enough for him.

Last week on AEW Dynamite, Okada teamed with Konosuke Takeshita to face Brodido. Since The Callis Family members beat the World Tag Team Champions, they earned a title shot at WrestleDream 2025. Ahead of such a huge match, cracks may be starting to form between the two Japanese stars. Don Callis recently celebrated his 62nd birthday with his stablemates. While Konosuke Takeshita wasn't there in person, he joined via video call. While he was addressing Don Callis, Okada turned off the TV and then played it off as an accident. This tension between them could hurt their chances against Brodido, which will result in the latter emerging victorious at WrestleDream. Following this loss, Okada could blame Takeshita and turn on him.

This could also lead the rest of Don Callis' Family to side with Okada, since they feel that Konosuke Takeshita is not the same ruthless person he used to be.

Nick Jackson commented on Kazuchika Okada's match at All In: Texas

Kazuchika Okada and Kenny Omega are two of the fiercest rivals in the world of professional wrestling. Their feud began in 2016 in New Japan Pro Wrestling. They went on to deliver a trilogy of matches for the Japanese promotion that is still very highly rated. These two men hadn't locked horns in years until they clashed at All In: Texas in what was another instant classic.

Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed, Nick Jackson gave his thoughts on their latest match.

“I’m not even sure why–maybe it had to do with not being able to be ringside for this one like we were in all the other matches. We were so blessed to have gotten the opportunity to watch them wrestle together again. Who knows if that was the last time? I’m just happy we got to see it happen,” said Nick Jackson.

It will be interesting to see if Kazuchika Okada will compete against Kenny Omega one more time.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
