AEW International Title: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Ricochet vs. Konosuke Takeshita
Things got interesting when Ricochet and Ospreay teamed up for a bit. Takeshita used his power to hold his own and stay in it. There was an insane sequence in the middle of the bout where Ospreay took a lariat from Takeshita, did a flip, and landed on his feet, He rebounded off the ropes and took out Takeshita, but Ricochet hit him with a 450º. Takeshita popped the crowd after hitting a German suplex on both opponents.
Takeshita sends Ricochet through a table with a cradle driver. Ospreay goes to pin Takeshita but Don Callis pulls the ref outside. Ospreay drives to attack him, but a guy in a hood runs in and attacks him. It’s Kyle Fletcher! Ospreay can’t believe it, then turns to look at Callis as he holds his head. Takeshita pulls his elbow pad down and knees Ospreay and makes the cover as Fletcher looks on at ringside.
