Folks, let me tell you, it was an unforgettable night at AEW Double or Nothing. The “Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay pulled off a stunning victory against Roderick Strong to claim the AEW International Championship. Tremendous, absolutely tremendous!
Ospreay had to navigate a minefield of interference from Mike Bennett, Matt Taven, and Wardlow, but he emerged victorious with a devastating Hidden Blade followed by his signature Stormbreaker. The crowd went wild, and rightfully so—his first title with AEW, folks. Historic.
Now, after his intense bout with Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynasty, Ospreay had vowed to retire the Storm Driver ’91, recognizing the serious impact it had on his opponents. This vow was put to the test during his match with Strong. Don Callis, ever the instigator, urged Ospreay to unleash the Storm Driver ’91 on the downed champion. Ospreay hesitated, showing his internal struggle, and ultimately decided to go for the Stormbreaker. But Strong, ever the wily competitor, reversed it into a gut-check followed by a running dropkick. Yet, Ospreay, showcasing his resilience, kicked out just in the nick of time.
There was a heart-stopping moment when Ospreay flipped out of a doomsday device setup by Bennett and Taven, landing headfirst on the floor outside the ring. The match paused briefly, but Ospreay, proving his mettle, continued the battle and secured the win.
