As it was anticipated, Kazuchika Okada is set to defend his AEW Continental Championship against “Speedball” Mike Bailey in the upcoming Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing 2025 pay-per-view event.
There had been a heated altercation between Okada and Bailey during the monumental brawl that led to the announcement of Anarchy in the Arena last week on Dynamite. Renee Paquette had a chat with Okada about Bailey in a backstage segment tonight, bringing to light that Bailey is yet to be defeated. Okada, however, stated that he doesn’t get challenged as he’s the one who holds the title, rather he’s the one who challenges Speedball.
