Kazuchika Okada is the first-ever AEW Unified Champion, defeating Kenny Omega at AEW All In: Texas to unify the AEW International and Continental Championships.
The match was a dramatic, back-and-forth battle filled with interference from The Don Callis Family. Okada focused his attack on Omega’s surgically repaired abdomen for much of the contest. Don Callis, who was on commentary, attacked Omega on the outside during the match.
Late in the bout, as Okada had Omega in a submission, Rocky Romero attempted to interfere but was cut off by the surprise return of Kota Ibushi, who neutralized him and evened the odds.
The finish came after Omega hit the One Winged Angel, but Don Callis pulled referee Bryce Remsburg from the ring before the three-count could be made. After a new referee, Aubrey Edwards, ran to the ring, Okada was able to recover and hit a decisive Rainmaker on Omega to secure the pinfall and become the inaugural champion.
