Why are people assuming Okada won’t be there? Cole, the slimy heel, claiming it isn’t evidence of anything. They wouldn’t be bringing his name up this much if they weren’t doing anything with him. Because his wife is pregnant and is due this summer and there have been rumors he doesn't want to leave the country because of that.

Because his wife is pregnant and is due this summer and there have been rumors he doesn't want to leave the country because of that. Which, like...yeah, fair enough. I'd probably feel like a bit of an asshole if my wife was about to give birth to our first child and I decided to go to work abroad instead and missed it. Like, it sucks for me as a fan but also, well, they'll be other opportunities. Okada said Danielson could come to Japan for Wrestle Kingdom so if we don't get Danielson/Okada here...well, you get the idea.

I was listening to yesterday's Busted Open episode and Tony Khan said he was the reason why Tana vs Moxley didn't happen. He made sure he put a stop to those matches in NJPW because he wanted AEW to be involved.
Also Ospreay vs OC is a match I never knew I wanted but with his character now (Ospreay) it definitely is a great match.

This card is underwhelming compared to what I was thinking when the event was first announced. No Okada, no Punk, no Naito, no Omega, no Lucha Bros. Potentially no Danielson. They get Ospreay but he’s matched with OC.

Orange Cassidy and Will Ospreay is the battle of the most laid back human being on earth, versus it’s most obnoxiously hyperactive.
Could really be a match to shut up any remaining OC haters.

Ospreay vs Cassidy could be the sleeper hit of the night.

Missing for an adults birthday? Give me a break. Some people have higher priorities than our entertainment. That's his decision.

Celebrating your pregnant wife's birthday instead of going to a completely different country doesn't seem lame as it seems like he's a damn good husband so whatever, Okada will show up in AEW, keep in mind they still have shit like Grand Slam 2 this year that Tony wants to do.

The card as it is is...fine. But adding Danielson/ZSJ and something like LIJ vs Undisputed Elite would go a long way to making this a can't miss show.

Like I said, rumors. Plus even if the child is due in August, doesn't mean she won't given birth early or is having a difficult pregnancy. I've been through both of those situations and know how stressful that can be. Regardless of the reason, it does seem like it's his choice to skip the show and that should be enough. If he was available, Tony would have him in a match asap.

As someone who was in a relationship, I can imagine what’d happen if I missed my partner’s birthday for my job that I could have easily booked off for.
I’d likely not be posting here anymore for one thing.
