Konosuke Takeshita has been officially booked to challenge Kazuchika Okada for the AEW International Championship at Double or Nothing on May 24 — with the condition being that he and Okada successfully work together as a tag team against The Young Bucks at Dynasty on April 12.
Don Callis confirmed the arrangement on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, framing the partnership as a Jordan and Pippen dynamic — though Okada and Takeshita immediately disagreed on who is who. The International Championship match adds another major title bout to what is already shaping up as one of AEW’s most loaded Double or Nothing cards, taking place May 24 at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
