Kazuchika Okada Vs. Marty Scurll Announced For All In
A first-time ever match on September 1st.
Record-breaking former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada will wrestle Bullet Club's Marty Scurll on 1 September's All In show.
Organisers Cody and The Young Bucks announced the bout on Twitter last night, along with news that Ring Of Honor veterans SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Scorpio Sky) will be part of the show.
Okada vs. Scurll is a first-time singles match. The duo have clashed before, but only as part of multi-man tags in New Japan. They've never gone one-on-one, and with 'The Rainmaker' falling to Scurll's former tag partner, Zack Sabre Jr., on NJPW's recent UK tour, 'The Villain' could potentially score a huge scalp.
This is the second All In bout announcement so far, with NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis vs. Cody, the ROH Champion, booked back in May. Both belts will be on the line in this "winner takes all" clash, with 'The American Nightmare' out to capture a championship his father held thrice.
Further match announcements are expected over the coming weeks, and with wrestlers the calibre of the Bucks, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, and Rey Fenix all in action, it's sure to be a stacked line-up.
