The main event for AEW All In: Texas is officially set, as Kenny Omega will face Kazuchika Okada in a “Winner Takes All” match for a new AEW Unified Championship. A new report from Fightful Select has shed light on the long-term planning for this historic encounter.
The report notes that the match has been a tentative plan for nearly a year and was firmly locked in for All In as far back as December 2024, even before Omega’s appearance at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom.
The newly unveiled AEW Unified Championship will consolidate Omega’s International Championship and Okada’s Continental Championship. According to the report, all indications are that this new unified title will be booked and perceived as another top-tier world championship in AEW, not as a mid-card belt.
The match announcement has already had a significant impact on business. It was internally credited with moving over 1,400 tickets for the All In event in the last week alone.
For those wondering about the future of the Continental Classic tournament now that its title is being unified, the report states that the word within AEW is that the tournament is “here to stay.”
