The May 13 Dynamite card

The world title bout is one of two matches announced so far for the episode.

AEW has also added a 10-man tag team match pitting Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Orange Cassidy, and The Young Bucks against FTR, Tommaso Ciampa, and The Dogs, Clark Connors and David Finlay.

What Okada's challenge means for Darby Allin

Putting Darby Allin and Kazuchika Okada together gives Dynamite a major championship match built around two of AEW's biggest names. It also keeps Allin positioned as an active champion, with his next defense coming together immediately after his latest televised win.

For Okada, the challenge moves him straight into the center of the world title picture. Even with only two matches announced, that bout gives the May 13 card a clear headline match.
