Field of opponents confirmed for Continental title match at AEW All Out
AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada now knows his three opponents for a four-way title match set for this Saturday’s All Out pay-per-view.
In three qualifying matches that took place during Friday’s edition of Collision, Orange Cassidy, Ring of Honor Champion Mark Briscoe and Konosuke Takeshita (seen above) all qualified by virtue of their victories.
Cassidy upended Bryan Keith, Briscoe defeated Lance Archer, and Takeshita survived a hard-hitting bout with The Beast Mortos to punch their tickets. Of note, Briscoe and Cassidy are teammates within The Conglomeration.
The three men will challenge Okada for the title he won back in March and has defended four times since then. None of them have ever held the Continental title.
