The March 19 episode of AEW Dynamite was quite a show for the company. You never know what AEW will do to shape their future, and now we know who will take on Kenny Omega for his title next.
The International Championship Eliminator Tournament concluded with a four-way match featuring Orange Cassidy, Mark Davis, Ricochet, and Mike Bailey. The competitors battled it out to determine who would earn the right to challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW International Championship at Dynasty next month.
The Liberty First Credit Union Arena in Omaha, NE was hot for this match, which opened up the show this week. This was quite a match, with everyone trying hard to steal the spotlight, because a great opportunity at Dynasty on April 6 was on the line.
The four battled intensely, and it stretched through a commercial break. Although fans reacted to everyone in the match, Ricochet was the biggest heel in the contest. Fans were also very much behind everything that Orange Cassidy did in the ring.
Speedball Mike Bailey almost had a pinfall on Orange Cassidy at one point, but Mark Davis pulled him out of the ring. Then Ricochet nailed a shooting star press on Freshly Squeezed for a near fall. The match continued, with each man fighting hard to keep the match going.
The finish finally came after Speedball Mike Bailey pinned Mark Davis, but then Ricochet came from behind and pinned Bailey. The referee counted to three, and then Bailey and Ricochet both wanted their hand raised. Fans chanted for Speedball, and this was a controversial decision, but Speedball Mike Bailey and Ricochet were both declared the winner. Now, they will both face Omega at the pay-per-view.
Kenny Omega won the International Title at Revolution 2025. That was a big singles title win for The Cleaner. Now we know who will face him next at Dynasty.
