Kazuchika Okada has captured the AEW International Championship after defeating Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita in a dramatic three-way match at All In 2026 at Wembley Stadium.
The three men produced a physical championship encounter, with Fletcher entering the match as champion and immediately attempting to remove Okada from the equation. That allowed Fletcher and Takeshita to exchange strikes before the Rainmaker quickly worked his way back into the contest.
All three competitors enjoyed periods of control as the match progressed, with Okada delivering his trademark Rainmakers, Takeshita hitting the Blue Thunder Driver and Powerdrive Knee, and Fletcher showing why he entered Wembley as champion.
One of the more unusual moments came when Okada removed a screwdriver from the turnbuckle area and attempted to convince Fletcher to use it against Takeshita. Fletcher did not go along with the plan, and the action quickly returned to the championship battle.
Fletcher later produced one of the biggest counters of the match when he reversed an attempted Rainmaker and delivered a Rainmaker of his own to Okada.
Takeshita also came incredibly close to victory after hitting Fletcher with a huge superplex and Powerdrive Knee. Fletcher refused to stay down, however, and the championship remained up for grabs.
The finish arrived after Takeshita connected with the Blue Thunder Driver before Fletcher delivered a Turnbuckle Brainbuster. With both men down, Okada was perfectly positioned to take advantage.
Kazuchika Okada pinned Kyle Fletcher with a lateral press to win the match and become the new AEW International Champion.
There was more tension after the bell when Don Callis entered the ring to celebrate, only for Fletcher to take the championship away from Okada.
Callis eventually talked Fletcher down, and the former champion placed the belt over Okada's shoulder. Okada then extended his arm and waited for Fletcher to raise it.
After a long hesitation, Fletcher finally raised Okada's arm, leaving the new AEW International Champion to celebrate his victory in front of the Wembley crowd.
AND NEWWWWW....
