During his preview of the upcoming WrestleDream pay-per-view on the What Happened When podcast, AEW announcer Tony Schiavone made a bold prediction for the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. He stated his belief that the challengers, Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita, are an unstoppable “super tag team” that will dethrone the current champions.
While Schiavone had praise for the reigning champions, “Brodito” (Brody King and Bandido), he questioned whether any team could overcome their formidable opponents. “I think Brodito, they have been very good champions, but can you get a better tag team than Okada and Takeshita? No, I don’t think you can,” he said.
He referred to the challengers, who are members of The Elite, as the top pairing in the company. “I just think they are, if there’s anything like a super tag team or a super group in AEW, it’s Takeshita and Okada,” Schiavone stated. “So it’d be hard to feel that Brodito can win this match. I really don’t.”
Schiavone also noted Bandido’s recent injury as a potential factor in the match’s outcome. “I like Brody. Love Brody and Bandido, but Bandido, of course, hurt his shoulder recently at Arena Mexico. So I just think that we’re going to see new World Tag Team Champions. It’s my feeling,” he concluded.
The AEW World Tag Team Championship match is scheduled for the WrestleDream pay-per-view this Saturday, October 18, 2025. The event is headlined by a World Championship match between “Hangman” Adam Page and Samoa Joe.
