The first three competitors for the upcoming Continental
Classic tournament were announced last night at Full Gear.
The current champion, Kazuchika Okada, will be in the
tournament to defend the title, which is right now merged
with the AEW Unified title. Okada won last year’s tournament
and has kept the title ever since.
Joining him will be the reigning IWGP World Heavyweight
champion Konosuke Takeshita and also now former TNT champion
Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher lost his gold yesterday at Full Gear
to Mark Briscoe.
The Continental Classic will have a total of 12 stars, split
into two leagues of six in a round-robin tournament before
it goes into a single elimination as the tournament comes to
a conclusion.
