At AEW Dynasty, Kenny Omega didn’t just defend the International Championship — he survived a real-time video game boss battle featuring Speedball Mike Bailey, Ricochet, and roughly 600 flips per minute. And just when he thought the level was complete? Kazuchika Okada’s music hit, and the final boss showed up early.
The triple threat match was a 30-minute adrenaline spike with no timeouts, no mercy, and zero regard for knee cartilage. Ricochet went full heel, snatching a headset mid-match to cut his own promo before immediately eating a high-octane boot from Bailey that could’ve shut down a podcast.
The action spilled outside more than a rowdy Eagles tailgate. Ricochet dropped Bailey on top of Omega like he was layering violence for extra damage. Omega fought back with double V-Triggers, but Ricochet answered with a 450 Splash, a Shooting Star Press, and what scientists now refer to as “too much torque.”
But it wasn’t enough. Not with Kenny “I Don’t Stay Down” Omega still breathing.
Bailey nearly had it after dropping knees into Ricochet’s spine, but Omega broke it up with another V-Trigger. Then came the final sequence: Ricochet kicked out of everything until Omega hit a middle rope One-Winged Angel — with Bailey tragically caught upside-down in the ropes, watching the three-count like a man stuck in slow-motion purgatory.
Omega stood victorious — tired, battered, belt in hand.
And then… the coin dropped.
“Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada, AEW Continental Champion and Omega’s long-time New Japan nemesis, made his way to the ring. No words. No fists. Just an icy stare. Okada and Omega squared off center ring like a poster for “Civil War: Forearm Edition”, as Dynasty faded out and the internet collectively yelled, “ALL IN TEXAS. BOOK IT.”
