AEW Announces International Championship Series, Kenny Omega To Face Winner

Kenny Omega is set for a huge match at AEW Revolution.

AEW Grand Slam Australia kicked off in fine style with the dream team of Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay defeating Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher of the Don Callis Family.

After a wild 20-minute bout, the end came with Ospreay hitting a Hidden Blade from the top rope as Omega delivered a One Winged Angel on Takeshita.

Elsewhere on the show, “Timeless” Toni Storm won the Women’s World Championship thanks to a win over Mariah May. In the process, she became the first woman to hold the championship four times.

There were also big wins for Mercedes Mone, Kazuchika Okada, and the Death Riders.
