Kenny Omega’s return to the AEW fold was accompanied by a lot of excitement. AEW Revolution went down at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, and The Cleaner had a chance to walk out with a championship.

Konosuke Takeshita defended the AEW International Title against Kenny Omega in the seventh match of the night. The two went out right after Toni Storm defended the AEW Women’s World Title in a very bloody match against Mariah May.

Kenny Omega wanted revenge on Takeshita, not just because he’s aligned with Don Callis, but because The Cleaner wanted to hold that title. Naturally, fans in LA were all behind Omega as he made his way to the ring.

The match got started fast, and the action soon spilled out onto the floor. The two fought around the ringside area for a while, as Don Callis stayed on commentary while hoping that Kenny Omega’s diverticulitis would flare up mid-match.

This contest continued as fans cheered on Kenny Omega. The Cleaner didn’t let up on his opponent, as Takeshita took some brutal chops and a slingblade onto the ring apron. Then Omega jumped on the guardrail to hit a splash, but Takeshita shoved him off and into the crowd.

By the time Kenny Omega got back in the ring, Takeshita had control of the match. He hit a brainbuster for a near fall and then continued his assault on the former AEW World Champion. Kenny Omega did fight back, but he was still unable to end the match via pinfall.

Kenny Omega tried to hit a Rise of the Terminator, but Don Callis grabbed his legs and caused a distraction. Then Takeshita clotheslined Omega over the top rope. The two battled next to a table, but then Omega flipped it over instead of putting his opponent through it. Then Takeshita launched Omega onto the leg of the table, and then he turned it on its side to put Omega’s stomach into the hard surface.

Eventually, the action returned to the ring, and Omega started to rally. However, Takeshita was able to kick out. Takeshita came back with a Blue Thunder Bomb, but only got a two count. Omega kept going, nailed a V-Trigger, but he couldn’t hit the One Winged Angel. Takeshita returned fire with two knees to the face, but Omega just kicked out.

Kenny Omega nailed a knee and a piledriver for a near fall. The match carried on until Omega nailed a knee to Takeshita’s face followed by a poisonrana. Then he hit a V Trigger, and he went for a One Winged Angel, but Takeshita got out of it. Then Omega rolled him up for the win.

This was quite a match at AEW Revolution. Although we didn’t see a One Winged Angel, Kenny Omega is now the new International Champion.
