Summary

Kazuchika Okada was originally planned to defend the AEW International Championship at Dynasty, but that plan was changed after Kyle Fletcher suffered an injury.

Instead of a title defense, Okada is now set to wrestle in a tag team match at the pay-per-view. He and Konosuke Takeshita are scheduled to face Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks.

Dynasty card change

The reported change means the AEW International Championship will not be defended by Okada at Dynasty as originally planned.

Okada still remains on the show in a prominent spot, but the shape of his night is now different. Rather than working a singles title match, he is part of a featured tag bout alongside Takeshita.

What Kyle Fletcher's injury changed for Dynasty

Kyle Fletcher's injury removed one apparent Okada title defense from the Dynasty lineup, giving AEW one more late card adjustment before the pay-per-view. That comes after the company also had to vacate the TNT Championship for Dynasty, which shows how much Fletcher's absence has already altered the event.

For Okada, the immediate consequence is that AEW can still keep one of its biggest stars in a major match without asking him to defend the International title on this card. The championship picture now stays on pause for the night, while the focus shifts to the tag match involving Okada, Takeshita, and The Young Bucks.
