In a dazzling display of athleticism and mind games, Will Ospreay retained his AEW International Championship on “Dynamite,” taking a cheeky shot at his upcoming Forbidden Door opponent, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland. With a message as clear as a steel chair to the back, Ospreay declared “Dynamite” as his house.
The high-octane match saw Ospreay squaring off against Rey Fenix. From the get-go, the two unleashed a barrage of blows and counterattacks, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The climax came when Ospreay hit Fenix with a signature O-Cutter. Fenix, ever the fighter, charged back only to meet Ospreay’s strike head-on. Seizing the moment, Ospreay ascended the top rope, locked eyes with Strickland at ringside, and executed Strickland’s own Swerve Stomp. He then finished the job with his Hidden Blade, securing the win.
Post-match, the tension skyrocketed as Strickland entered the ring for a classic stare-down. Ospreay extended a hand, but Strickland opted for a face-to-face confrontation instead, taunting Ospreay about his strength. The highlight? Ospreay snatching Strickland’s World Championship and casually draping it over his shoulder next to his own. Strickland, joined by Prince Nana, left with a chilling warning, leaving fans salivating for their showdown at Forbidden Door on June 30 in Long Island.
