Key Highlights

• However, once he got the crowd behind him, Takeshita took full control of the bout after hitting his Wheelbarrow German Suplex and a big Blue Thunder Bomb.

• Takeshita was the first to break when he got knocked down by a Lariat, but after a series of roll up attempts, "The Alpha" had all the momentum heading into the final stretch of the match, not even Okada's Drop Kick could stop him.
• Takeshita hit a Poisonrana and a Power Drive Knee for a near fall, but couldn't hit the Raging Fire as Okada was deadweight, or so we thought.
• In the closing moments, Okada pulled a screwdriver from the turnbuckle and managed to hit Takeshita in the head while the referee's head was turned, which was enough to put down the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion for the three count.
• Don Callis did look confused in the immediate aftermath, but as Okada discarded the evidence under the ring, he celebrated with "The Rainmaker" knowing that he is one step closer to bringing the AEW Continental Championship back to the family.
