Kazuchika Okada attacked Copeland post-match.

Kicking off the in-ring action of the main card for AEW’s 2026 Full Gear pay-per-view was Kazuchika Okada defending the AEW International Championship against Adam Copeland. Copeland is on the title chase as he’s retiring in 2027.

It was Okada’s third defense of the belt. Copeland focused on Okada’s right arm/shoulder to hinder Okada from performing The Rainmaker finisher at full force.

As the bout went on, Okada mocked Copeland’s build-up to the spear, and then Copeland mocked Okada’s middle finger to the hard camera.

The conclusion of the bout came when Okada hit Copeland with an impaler DDT to the outside of the ring on the exposed floor. He then put Copeland back in the ring and finished him off with The Rainmaker for the win.

Post-match, Okada ran back to the ring and hit Copeland with another Rainmaker.
