Kenny Omega wins International title at AEW Revolution

Kenny Omega is the International Champion.

Omega defeated Konoskue Takeshita at AEW Revolution on Sunday to win the title for the first time. In a closely-watched back and forth contest, Omega scored the win following a crucifix after both countered each other’s finishers. After the match, Don Callis and Takeshita bailed to the back as Omega took time to get back to his feet, holding the International title in the air as pyro went off at the stage area.

Upon making his return in January, Omega found himself being attacked by the Don Callis Family only for Will Ospreay to make the save. After the team were successful in defeating Kyle Fletcher and Takeshita at AEW Grand Slam Australia, Omega issued the challenge to Takeshita for a future International title match.

A mini-tournament was held soon after to determine the International title match for Revolution. Orange Cassidy defeated Roderick Strong to face Takeshita for the title the following week on Dynamite. Takeshita retained the title, setting the stage for the match against Omega in Los Angeles.
