His awakening wasn't enough for him to not lose seven times and to be captured as you said, the difference will be that it will be Luffy to beat him this time, and even if Zoro does deal a killing blow on Kaido it will be after his defeat at Luffy's hands and everyone even Zoro will acknowledge...
Even awakened Zoans have their limits and you know it. Luffy will somehow find the power to make him stay down for some time and it will considered a defeat for Kaido.
The fight will be over once Luffy has overpowered and punched Kaido beyond the point he can gets back up, just like how the Red Scabbards did survive after their fight with Kaido despite this being supposed to be a "death match".
It's just obvious that Luffy will be the one to do most work and deal the finishing blow on Kaido, some people are just ignoring what is right in front of them.
