Kazuchika Okada wins AEW International Championship, fends off Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita at All In

Fox News · 5 hours ago

Kazuchika Okada reclaimed the AEW International Championship at All In, defeating both Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita in a three-way match. Fletcher had taken the title only shortly before, beating Takeshita for it at Double or Nothing after Takeshita had earlier stripped Okada of the belt, meaning all three men had a stake in the outcome and the bout carried significant stakes for the promotion's title picture.

The match saw Fletcher and Takeshita trade high-impact moves, including a countered brainbuster, a tornado DDT and a turnbuckle brainbuster, while Okada, briefly aligned with the Don Callis Family, absorbed and dished out several Rainmakers. As Fletcher and Takeshita wore each other down, Okada capitalised with a decisive Rainmaker on Fletcher to secure the pinfall. Fletcher, despite the loss, chose not to attack Okada with the title belt and instead raised his hand in a show of sportsmanship. This marks Okada's second reign as International Champion, having previously held the title for 316 days after beating Kenny Omega at last year's All In.

  • Okada beat Fletcher and Takeshita to reclaim AEW's International Championship.
  • The title had changed hands twice in the lead-up to All In.
  • It is Okada's second reign; his first lasted 316 days.
