Okada, Takeshita Lose to Brodido in AEW Tag Team Title Match at WrestleDream 2025

Brodido defeated Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita at WrestleDream on Saturday to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

Brodido won after Bandido hit Kazuchika Okada with the 21-Plex. Some highlights from the match are below.

On the Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite on Oct. 7, Okada and Takeshita faced Brody King and Bandido in a tag team bout that featured a unique, championship-based stipulation.

If Okada and Takeshita were to win, they would earn an AEW tag title shot at WrestleDream, but if Brodido were to win, the wrestler who got the winning fall would receive an opportunity at Okada's Unified Championship at WrestleDream.

Okada and Takeshita, who are both members of the Don Callis Family, have had a great deal of tension between them in recent weeks, and that carried over to the Title Tuesday match.

Despite not being on the same page, The Rainmaker and The Alpha were victorious when Okada tagged himself in and executed his Rainmaker clothesline for the win.

Although Brodido fell to Okada and Takeshita on Dynamite, they entered WrestleDream in a much better place than their opponents due to their willingness to work together.

King and Bandido teamed up in a traditional tag team match for the first time in July, and less than two months later, they found themselves atop the AEW tag team division.

At Forbidden Door, Brodido won a three-way tag team match over the Hurt Business and JetSpeed to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships in their first title opportunity.

Brodido went on to retain the titles in a four-team ladder match at All Out, but the match against Okada and Takeshita represented the biggest challenge of their reign by far.

Even so, Brodido rose to the occasion to retain against Okada and Takeshita, perhaps driving an even bigger wedge between the Don Callis Family members in the process.
