Earlier tonight at Summer Blockbuster, a top AEW star went too far and may have jeopardized his All In match. Could Tony Khan make him face the consequences of his actions by suspending him?
Moments ago, Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada had the contract signing for their Winner Takes All match at All In: Texas, which is roughly a month away. Don Callis came out and tried to tick off Omega, and it worked, as this was meant to distract him so that Okada could blindside him. It appears that for now, he and Callis have formed a partnership because they share a common enemy.
The Rainmaker took things too far, as he targeted Omega's gut, striking it with a police baton, and two elbow drops from the top rope. He even connected with one while Kenny was on a stretcher. The Best Bout Machine was seen with blood spewing from his mouth, a direct result of the brutal attack.
Tony Khan generally would not suspend someone for an attack like this, but interrupting the times when Kenny Omega was being given medical attention just to continue his attack may warrant a suspension. Omega was also an AEW EVP, so that may add to the seriousness of the case. Should he do this, this could put the match at All In at risk of cancellation.

AEW unveils the new Unified Championship
After the announcement that Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada would be a Winner Takes All match, many wondered what this meant for the future of both the AEW International and Continental Championships.
During the contract signing earlier tonight, Tony Schiavone unveiled the Unified Championship belt, which will be the prize for either Okada or Omega at All In: Texas.
The stakes have just gone higher, with the crowning of an inaugural champion being included. It is only fitting that these two long-time rivals will be the ones to face off for this new belt.
