Kazuchika Okada: I’m Gonna Show You Who Is The Greatest Tournament Wrestler Of All Time

Kazuchika Okada reacts to losing in the first match of the 2025 AEW Continental Classic.

On the November 26th edition of AEW Dynamite, the 2025 Continental Classic kicked off with Kyle Fletcher and Okada facing off in the first match of the tournament, with Fletcher defeating Okada in a repeat of last year’s league phase where Kyle also beat Okada.

While speaking in a digital exclusive posted to AEW’s social media platforms after Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Kazuchika Okada reacted to his loss, admitting that Fletcher is a great wrestler but he will show who the greatest tournament wrestler of all time is.

“I lost that match because Kyle, I know he’s a great wrestler. That’s why I want Protokada with him. But the Continental Classic has just begun. I’m gonna show you who is the greatest tournament wrestler of all time.”

"I want to show you who is the greatest tournament wrestler of all time."
