Impact World Championship
Kenny Omega (c) vs. Christian Cage

This is the first time the Impact World Title has been defended in AEW and it’s the first time Christian – who is a former World Champion in TNA/Impact when they used the NWA World Championship – has challenged for that title since 2008. Christian frustrates Omega early on getting the better of him in chain sequences and then Christian runs Omega over with a shoulder block and flips him off.

Omega spent the break working Christian over and continues the assault as we come back from break. Omega goes for a Suplex but Christian counters into one of his own.

Christian ducks and Omega knees the turnbuckles and turns around into a Spear from Christian! 1….2..NO Omega kicks out and the crowd bought that false finish.

Christian snaps Omegas neck as he swings at him and then Christian hits a Frog Splash for another close nearfall.

Sammy says that Fuego has been coming to AEW for the last year and he barely wins but no one cares because the people love him. Sammy says a lot of guys in the back love him, too.
