Going into All Out 2020, tensions were high between the AEW Tag Team Champions, Hangman Adam Page and Kenny Omega, and the challengers FTR. FTR had earned the number one contender spot, but beyond the rivalry, they tried to forge an unlikely bond with Hangman, planting seeds of doubt in his mind. Kenny Omega, however, was fully focused on the title defense and had no interest in friendship. FTR subtly reminded Hangman of Omega’s close ties with the Young Bucks, making Hangman question whether he could truly trust his partner.

The tension was off the charts, with Omega’s experience clashing perfectly against Takeshita’s raw power and determination, keeping fans on the edge of their seats throughout.

The drama intensified when Don Callis attempted to interfere, trying to stab Omega with a screwdriver—but he missed, giving Takeshita a chance to capitalize. Omega came close to victory multiple times, only for Takeshita to kick out and turn the tide with two devastating knee strikes. In a shocking finish, Takeshita overcame one of AEW’s top stars and pinned Omega, marking a career-defining win and cementing himself as a rising force in the company.
