AEW sparks division between the top factions once again at Collision

All is not well with the popular AEW faction, given the events that unfolded in the latest episode of Collision. The episode almost saw a fight break out between Konosuke Takeshita and the returning Kazuchika Okada due to the latter’s actions at Worlds End 2025.

The Rainmaker competed in last year’s Continental Classic as the defending continental champion, advancing to the semi-final and final stages of the tournament at Worlds End. He battled his rival and Don Callis Family stablemate, Konosuke Takeshita, in the semi-finals, overpowering him by blasting him with a screwdriver behind the referee’s back – a screwdriver planted by Kyle Fletcher for use against eventual C2 winner Jon Moxley in their semi-final match.

Okada has not appeared on AEW programming since his defeat to The One True King in the finals of the Continental Classic. He finally returned to All Elite Wrestling on Saturday’s episode of Collision, following Takeshita and Fletcher’s tag team victory over Billy and Austin Gunn. Alpha immediately attempted to confront the reigning International Champion, but was repelled by The Protostar and Don Callis, clearly indicating the tensions threatening the Invisible Hand Family.

Incidentally, Fletcher himself asked Callis to talk to Okada about his actions at Worlds End two weeks ago. It remains to be seen if Proto-Shita can soon be ousted from their current star-studded faction.
