Following Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, the 2025 Continental Classic is off and running as the show saw four matches, two in the Blue League and two in the Gold League.
In the opener, former TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher picked up a Gold League pinfall win over reigning Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada to earn three points. Okada had to relinquish his title at the beginning of the tournament as the winner will become the champion.
In the first Blue League match, former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley got things off to a positive start by submitting Mascara Dorada in an interesting clash of styles. Moxley has competed in the tournament before with this being Dorada’s debut.
In the Gold League, Kevin Knight made his tournament debut one to remember as he defeated Darby Allin to earn three points while in the night’s main event, Claudio Castagnoli defeated Orange Cassidy in Blue League action to earn his first three points. Castagnoli will face Death Riders teammate Moxley next Wednesday.
