Just a few months after embarking on his first run on a full-time AEW contract, Will Ospreay can call himself a champion after winning the International title at Sunday’s Double or Nothing.

Ospreay defeated Roderick Strong in the main card opener, ending Strong’s 85-day run that began at March’s Revolution with his win over Orange Cassidy. Ospreay earned the shot with a win in a Casino gauntlet match in April.

Ospreay picked up the victory Sunday after countering an End of Heartache attempt by landing on his feet followed by a Hidden Blade and Storm Breaker for the pin and title. It’s his first title run anywhere since his IWGP U.S. title reign came to an end last November in NJPW.

As has been the case since April’s Dynasty, Ospreay was hesitant to use his Tiger Driver ’91, even with Don Callis doing everything in his power to get him to do it.
