Tony Khan makes huge announcement after brutal assault on AEW star

Tony Khan made a huge announcement after an AEW star got brutally assaulted on Summer Blockbuster 2025. This will have huge ramifications for the stars involved moving forward.

Summer Blockbuster saw several matches and events, but there was an unpleasant incident that took place that shocked fans around the world. Kenny Omega was brutally assaulted by Kazuchika Okada after their contract signing was interrupted by Don Callis. It was so bad that The Cleaner had to be taken away on a stretcher. One of Omega’s good friends Mark Briscoe did not like what he saw and cut a promo saying that he would get his revenge on the Japanese star.

Now, Tony Khan has taken to X/Twitter to make the match between the two stars official. He wrote:

“This Wednesday, 6/18 #AEWGrandSlamMexico 8pm ET/7pm CT, TBS + Max @SussexCoChicken vs Continental Champion @rainmakerXokada After Okada’s brutal attack on Omega, Kenny’s longtime friend Mark Briscoe is out for payback! Briscoe wants to hurt Okada in Arena México THIS WEDNESDAY!”

Tony Schiavone gives update on AEW star Kenny Omega

After Kenny Omega was attacked and taken away on a stretcher, Tony Schiavone immediately gave an update regarding the health of the former AEW World Champion. He said:

“Kenny Omega has been taken to a hospital in the Portland area. Of course, we know about his diverticulitis and about how that was a career-threatening illness that he had. But the names are on the paper. But, as of now, it is going to be Kenny Omega going up against Kazuchika Okada.”

It was clear to see that The Best Bout Machine was in a lot of anguish on Wednesday. He will hopefully make a quick recovery with All In 2025 just a month away in Texas.
