AEW President Tony Khan likened the storied rivalry between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada to watching the first two Godfather films, highlighting the feud’s cinematic quality and its deep roots in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Khan emphasized how the long-running series of matches feels like a sweeping, multi-act saga rather than a single storyline.

He noted the rivalry’s evolution from NJPW into broader cross-promotional narratives, calling it layered and epic as both men continue to add new chapters to their legacy. Fans can expect the feud to remain a centerpiece whenever the two cross paths inside the ring.
