Kenny Omega Captures AEW International Championship – Kenny Omega has added another championship to his impressive résumé, defeating Konosuke Takeshita to claim the AEW International Championship at AEW Revolution. The victory marks a significant milestone for Omega, who has now held the AEW World, International, Tag Team, and Trios Championships—leaving only the TNT and Continental Championships missing from his collection.
The match carried personal and professional stakes, as it was the latest chapter in a rivalry that dates back to their shared time in DDT Pro Wrestling over a decade ago. Takeshita had reigned as champion for 149 days, successfully defending the title seven times before this showdown. Omega earned his shot after pinning Takeshita at AEW Grand Slam Australia, but he had yet to defeat him in singles competition following his loss at All Out 2023.
Takeshita disrupted Omega’s signature fluid offense early on, grounding him with rest holds and calculated strikes. At ringside, Don Callis, who was on commentary, inserted himself into the match, interfering while Takeshita distracted the referee. The champion attempted to escalate the brutality by introducing a table, but Omega thwarted the attempt, overturning it to the disappointment of the crowd.
Back in the ring, Omega fired off multiple V-Triggers, but Takeshita countered with a Blue Thunder Bomb, using Omega’s momentum against him. Both men jockeyed for control, with Omega attempting the One Winged Angel, only for Takeshita to reverse and tease one of his own. In the final moments, Callis tried to assist Takeshita, but Omega kicked him away and capitalized on a roll-up exchange to score the pinfall victory.
With this win, Omega solidifies his legacy in AEW, proving once again why he remains one of the most decorated and resilient competitors in the promotion’s history.
