The AEW International Championship match featured Kenny Omega defending his title against Speedball Mike Bailey and Ricochet. Omega entered the match as the champion and faced both challengers in a three-way contest.
Each competitor in this match received a big entrance, especially Kenny Omega. When they got started, each of them had a chance to get offense in, but neither of them was going to back down and let a pinfall happen too early on.
The match eventually found its way to ringside, where Ricochet took a bad bump, and then Omega lifted Speedball up and lifted him over the barricade. They continued, with Ricochet and Speedball going at it in the ring. Ricochet got the upperhand and took the headset to talk some smack until Speedball kicked him in the head, breaking the headset in the process. Speedball tried to talk into the headset, but nobody could hear anything.
This match was wild, with a ton of highspots from everyone involved. Speedball missed a flipping knee drop on the apron, and then Omega and Ricochet continued on in the ring. Eventually, all three men got in the ring once again as Omega mounted some offense against his competitors.
Omega nailed a V-Trigger on both of his challengers, sending Speedball out of the ring. Then Ricochet reversed out of a One Winged Angel, but Omega was able to counter into a German Suplex for a near fall. There were a ton of near falls after that, as everyone in the match had a time when it looked like they might win. That included Speedball hitting a Crane Kick straight out of Karate Kid.
Eventually, Kenny Omega nailed a One Winged Angel off the top rope on Ricochet. Speedball got hung up in the ropes, and then Omega got the win to retain his title. After that, Kazuchika Okada had a stand-off with Omega before he left.
We will have to see what is next for everyone involved in this match. Although there could only be one winner, everyone came out looking very good in Philly.
