00:00:00And now, live from Queens, New York, All Elite Wrestling presents Double or Nothing.
00:00:11It's Sunday! You know what that means!
00:00:14All Elite Wrestling presents Double or Nothing live on pay-per-view.
00:00:19I'm Excalibur joined by Tony Schiavone, Nigel McGinnis,
00:00:23and we have a massive night of action in store for you tonight.
00:00:28But we are kicking things off with a high-stage matchup.
00:00:32And let's head to the ring and Arcaniora for the introduction.
00:00:37Your opening contest is an I-Quick New York free fight for the AEW World Tasty Championship.
00:00:50If COVID pays for them, they can never team again.
00:00:58E-Quick New York.
00:01:01E-Quick New York, E-Quick New York.
00:01:24Here are Superstars, L. Prograce!
00:06:23Look at the face of Adam Copeland.
00:06:27He's not hiding his emotions at all.
00:06:29Now both Copeland cage have to realize that gravitas lies ahead.
00:06:37Remember this is an I quit streak fight.
00:06:42The only way to win is for one member of the team to say the words I quit.
00:06:49Good thing it's not both members because if that's the case Copeland cage couldn't lose
00:06:53because Christian cage would never say I quit.
00:06:56Christian cage said I quit in the I quit match in the TG championship with Adam Copeland.
00:07:01But that wasn't his voice.
00:07:02Yeah it was Adam Copeland throwing his voice.
00:07:04Oh.
00:07:06You believe anything.
00:07:08Right now there'll be no chance tonight as Copeland cage would have to be seen as the veterans
00:07:15in this matchup.
00:07:17Whoa.
00:07:18Hope and cage have held world tag team championships seven times over the course of their legendary
00:07:25career.
00:07:26They redefined what it meant to be a tag team in the early 2000s and left an indelible imprint
00:07:34on the sport while doing so.
00:07:37There were 14 years where they were not together.
00:07:39They finally came back together last August at forbidden door.
00:07:43What a moment that was for all of us.
00:07:45It was an incredible moment certainly.
00:07:48I don't know how big a moment is until it becomes a memory.
00:07:53Now Copeland he was looking underneath the ring for something I'm not sure what but inside
00:07:58the ring.
00:07:59Christian cage looking for kill switch.
00:08:02Jack Talwood whip combination takes Christian cage off his feet.
00:08:07And when Copeland had the advantage in the corner he was throwing right hands because you
00:08:10can see his left hand.
00:08:12He's going to break.
00:08:13Stokely.
00:08:15That's barbed wire going to wrap it around his right wrist.
00:08:18Barbed wire around the arm.
00:08:20Oh attack.
00:08:21The axe of Christian cage.
00:08:22Ooh.
00:08:24Taking the barbed wire into the wrist.
00:08:26Here we go.
00:08:27DDT by Christian cage.
00:08:29Reverse DDT.
00:08:30And cage as you mentioned you see that white brace around his left forearm.
00:08:34That was from when FTR attacked Christian cage with that chair.
00:08:39The stomp on the chair.
00:08:40Wrapped around the arm.
00:08:41I think in doing so it gave them a clear game plan for this high quick match.
00:08:47And cage is cutting his hand just by tying that barbed wire around the middle rope.
00:08:53And cage who led the patriarchy.
00:08:56And cage into the barbed wire.
00:08:59And Christian cage not done yet.
00:09:02Digging right into the chest.
00:09:04No!
00:09:06Fuck you!
00:09:07Fuck you!
00:09:09Well there you see how it's going to have to go.
00:09:11Whoa!
00:09:13And the referee's microphone stuck in the mouth of one of the combatants.
00:09:17And the prongs of that barbed wire digging into the flesh as Big Stoke is beside himself.
00:09:23And there are two referees armed with microphones here at ringside.
00:09:28Look at this!
00:09:29Cage just got the belt away from Paul Turner.
00:09:32Turner hold on to your pants before they fall down.
00:09:35Oof!
00:09:37Repeated lashes from Christian cage.
00:09:41And now Cope.
00:09:42Oh!
00:09:43You ripped Cashmiela in the face!
00:09:45Look at that!
00:09:47This man is unhinged!
00:09:48Fury being unleashed on the AEW World Tag Team Champions.
00:09:51Hoping is capricious!
00:09:53Reckless!
00:09:56And a temper like a honey badger!
00:09:58Oh, and right now he's half crazy!
00:10:02Oof!
00:10:05Oof!
00:10:07Oof!
00:10:08Oof!
00:10:08Oof!
00:10:08Oof!
00:10:10That's Howard over the top rope.
00:10:12That belt wrapped around his throat.
00:10:14But Cash Wheeler intervenes.
00:10:17What a great start for the AEW World Tag Team Champions.
00:10:21And they are known for their resilience, for their gas tank, for their ability to go the long distance.
00:10:28Oh!
00:10:29Christian Cage thrown left arm, left shoulder first into that ring post.
00:10:33And he came up clutching his knee as well.
00:10:35So perhaps another injury for Christian Cage to monitor.
00:10:40You're right about resilience, Nigel.
00:10:43One of the things they're known for.
00:10:45And you're gonna need resilience, everyone in this one.
00:10:47And you saw the attack on the left arm.
00:10:50FTR immediately going for that.
00:10:51But Cope now bringing a ladder into the proceedings.
00:10:55It's a battering rack!
00:10:59Well, as a team, they kind of put the ladders on the mat.
00:11:04But right now, bad intentions.
00:11:11Jack Harwood suplexed onto the ladder, courtesy of the Rated R Superstar.
00:11:17We don't need to tell you that anything goes.
00:11:19You know that by now.
00:11:20But someone's gonna have to say, I quit.
00:11:23And who knows how long this will take.
00:11:25Oh!
00:11:25Oh!
00:11:26Oh!
00:11:27Oh!
00:11:27Oh!
00:11:30Oh!
00:11:30Oh!
00:11:34Oh, hell, I'm doin' it!
00:11:41Oh, he's seen the ladder.
00:11:45Now we're seeing the table.
00:11:50This does not look good for FTR.
00:11:58cage is such a intimidating unbridled madman but you know we've seen this so many times in
00:12:07so many matches tables being introduced a lot of times it backfires on the person that brings
00:12:11the table in that pipsweep skulkley oh there's the chair introduced to the head of coke like
00:12:19Dax Harwood but coke fires back an elbow strike there you go it could be a perilous balancing act for
00:12:25the
00:12:26Rated R Superstar he can get tips keeping him away from the table
00:12:34pulls him back in pulls himself back into the relative safety of the ring and sends
00:12:38Harwood out oh no sacrificing his body going over the top and both hit the apron very hard look at
00:12:44this I don't know why he called him big stoke he's a pipsqueak thing is irony nothing big about him
00:12:53that's why he doesn't get any hoes watch out gas wheeler lining up cope and a chair across the spine
00:12:59remember cope's history with neck injuries Nigel he thought at one point his career was over due to
00:13:05the damage to his neck and he may wish it was if this match continues oh FTR may be the
00:13:11ones to end it
00:13:18FTR true to form absorbed a lot of punishment and turned things back round in their favour
00:13:24where are they going now Dax Harwood looking at the time keepers table point out a toolbox a toolbox

00:21:50what!?
00:21:51oh my gosh!
00:22:04She is ready for a fight, and she has not forgotten what Stokely and FTR did to her.
00:22:14It's Beth time.
00:22:21Oh, God.
00:22:23Oh, wow.
00:22:24Dax just sent Beth face first into those steps.
00:22:28Oh, Dax the Axe more than willing to put his hands on a woman.
00:22:34What have they got?
00:22:35Oh, no.
00:22:36A lighter fluid.
00:22:37Oh, no!
00:22:39Oh, no!
00:22:40Well, this has already been an incendiary matchup.
00:22:46What in the hell is wrong with...
00:22:53Dax hasn't moved.
00:22:56Emptying that entire bottle, coating that table, and...
00:23:02Oh, they got Beth.
00:23:03Look at that, Beth!
00:23:05Holy...
00:23:06They want to burn Beth!
00:23:24At the last possible moment, Beth moves out of the way, and Stokely and Kramit Cash crash
00:23:33and burn, literally.
00:23:40Hell, this is just the first match, and they're burning people.
00:23:44What the hell?
00:23:53Now Dax the ass on his own.
00:23:59This is not good, gentlemen.
00:24:03It could be the concerto.
00:24:08It could be the final concerto ever for the Rated-R Superstar.
00:24:12Cop!
00:24:14Listen to me.
00:24:15If you want to see your two daughters tomorrow, say,
00:24:19I quit.
00:24:27Say it!
00:24:28Say it!
00:24:30Say it!
00:24:32Say it!
00:24:34Say it!
00:24:38Cop saw his wife.
00:24:43Calls for Beth.
00:24:46Oh, payback!
00:24:56Christian Cage now laces up the legs of Dax Harwood.
00:25:01No!
00:25:03No!
00:25:04No!
00:25:04No!
00:25:06No!
00:25:07No!
00:25:08Can Harwood survive?
00:25:12In the cross face as well!
00:25:15No!
00:25:17No!
00:25:18No!
00:25:19No, God!
00:25:20Oh, God!
00:25:21Wait a second, Cop.
00:25:22He's waving.
00:25:23Waving to Beth for something.
00:25:24And Beth!
00:25:28Upending those steel ring steps.
00:25:31Oh, no!
00:25:32And Spike!
00:25:43And Beth Copeland wielding Spike as Dax Harwood!
00:25:48Trapped!
00:25:50No, God!
00:25:51No!
00:25:51Don't do it!
00:25:52Oh!
00:25:53No!
00:25:54No!
00:25:54No!
00:25:56No!
00:25:58No!
00:26:00No!
00:26:01No!
00:26:01No!
00:26:03No!
00:26:04Here are your winners and the new AEW World 17 champion,
00:26:14Kristen Cage and Aaron Paul Glenn!
00:26:22The future for Cop and Cage as a tag team will continue and it will continue with the AEW World
00:26:35Tag Team Championships around their waist.
00:26:40I think we can all say this is a tremendous moment in all elite wrestling.
00:26:44And look, Beth is in tears right there.
00:26:47And well, she should be.
00:26:48What a journey and what a battle back for Cage and Cop.
00:26:52An incredible matchup with both teams doing absolutely anything they could to secure the victory.
00:27:00But the dastardly intentions at FTR looking to put Beth Copeland into the wave instead.
00:27:07A malfunction at the junction when Dax the Axe was left on his own.
00:27:14Cop and Cage will bend and spike.
00:27:17And Spike as Dax Harwood!
00:27:19No choice!
00:27:20Trapped!
00:27:21Driven!
00:27:21Into the head!
00:27:23Don't do it!
00:27:24Dax the Axe!
00:27:27No!
00:27:28No!
00:27:28No!
00:27:29No!
00:27:31No!
00:27:32We'll use the five letters that get us to a new AEW World Tag Team Championship reign!
00:27:41Wrong live the champs!
00:27:43What a moment!
00:27:47Their eighth World Tag Team Championship reign as a team!
00:27:52the first time ever in all Elite Wrestling.
00:28:00And Kane's got his watch back as well.
00:28:05I'm not sure what he's more happy about.
00:28:09What an incredible moment to kick off our broadcast,
00:28:14our debut here from the Louis Armstrong Stadium,
00:28:17sold out in Queens, New York here tonight.
00:28:22I'm just saying, I'm still waiting.
00:28:26There's a place to come tonight.
00:28:31There's a place where I'm holding me,
00:28:35there's a place where I'm holding me,
00:28:36you're holding me high.
00:28:39I'm just saying, there's something real to me.
00:28:44There's a place where I'm holding me,
00:28:53from the AEW World Tag Team Championship
00:28:57to the AEW International Championship.
00:29:02A massive rivalry that threatens to consume.
00:29:06The Don Callis family comes to a head here tonight.
00:29:09The Alpha, Konosuke Tekeshta challenges the Rainmaker.
00:29:13The AEW International Champion, Kazuchika Okada.
00:29:20Okada and Tekeshta.
00:29:22Gentlemen, tensions have been high between the two of you for over a year.
00:29:28And Don Callis has done everything in his power to keep things from boiling over.
00:29:31But come double or nothing, Don Callis has given his blessing.
00:29:34We will see Tekeshta versus Okada finally for this International Championship.
00:29:41The two greatest Japanese wrestlers of their generation.
00:29:52The greatest AEW International Champion of all time.
00:29:58I must beat Kazuchika Okada.
00:30:00I must begin AEW International Championship.
00:30:04You can try, you will fail.
00:30:07Best man wins, both men remain with the Don Callis family.
00:30:13A double or nothing, you lose.
00:30:17Because I'm a champion, unlike you, bitch.
00:30:27Okada, Tekeshta, International Championship, live from New York.
00:31:01写真はただの画像ではないただのイメージではない写真はどうやって俺がこの物語を歩んできたかそれを全て語ってくれるここに来るまで簡単なことではなかった多くを犠牲にしそしてこのゴールだけを見て俺はここまで来た。
00:31:03未だ手にしていない未来。
00:31:05未だ手にしていない未来。
00:31:08でも俺はそこに確実に向かっている。
00:31:18岡田和地、ダブルオナスブでは俺がお前を打ちのめす。
00:31:20And that will be the last one.
00:31:56This is the new Japan Pro Wrestling World Television Champion, the Alpha Kanosuke Takeshita!
00:32:09Judging by the crowd reaction, the support will be behind the challenger, the Alpha Kanosuke Takeshita,
00:32:20in his quest not just to reclaim the AEW International Championship, but to prove that he is a better man
00:32:28than Okada.
00:32:29It is a big fight feel here tonight in Queens, New York. Two wrestlers, one family.
00:32:36Don Cowles has done his best to keep these two Japanese icons apart.
00:32:40He has given his blessing for this match tonight.
00:32:43We have the Rainmaker come into AEW as one of the most revered and decorated wrestlers of all time.
00:32:49But this man right here, the Alpha, has blossomed into one of the best and future of this business.
00:32:56Tonight we find out who is the best Japanese wrestler for the international title.
00:33:03Thank you, Renee.
00:33:05As Takeshita awaits the arrival of the champion.
00:33:27And his opponent, Komachi Tupaya, weighing 236 pounds, he's the AEW International Champion!
00:33:39The Rainmaker, Komachi Tupaya!
00:33:59The top Japanese wrestler of his generation. One of the greatest of all time worldwide. The AEW International Champion.
00:34:13What could we be moments away from seeing a changing of the guard? Not just as far as the International
00:34:19Championship is concerned.
00:34:20But as the professional wrestling landscape is concerned, we are joined at the desk by the detestable Don Callis.
00:34:27What a pleasure. It's a big fight feeling. Why not? Two of the studs of the Don Callis family on
00:34:32full display tonight. And I'm very excited. It's a busy night for me.
00:34:37After this, me and Davis are gonna head out, meet the other boys, to get ready for the Stadium Stampede.
00:34:44We'll be rolling in style, if you know what I mean.
00:34:46Oh, Stadium Stampede. Coming up later on tonight in front of this Double or Nothing broadcast. But right now, the
00:34:52International Championship on the line.
00:34:55Every Rick Knox drawing the assignment for this. A rematch from last December.
00:35:04Wow. Look at this. Years in the making, boys. I'm excited. The bell sounds and the fans erupt.
00:35:28These two look like mirror images of one another, don't they? Both the same size. The Prince and the King.
00:35:37Here we go.
00:35:46Okada's strength in his pace and in control. Okada has flinched first though. He went for the kick to the
00:35:52midsection, took the side headlock and just bounced off the chest of the Champion.
00:35:56It's only a feeling out process. Speaks to the respect that both Champion and Challenger have for each other.
00:36:03Yeah. Looking for the trip. Okada. Underneath the Leapfrog. Takesh to the back elbow. Caught. Okada. Flush now. Sunset Flip.
00:36:12Attempt. Okada rolls all the way through. Maintains control. The wrist. Rainmaker attempt early. Takesh to Raging Fire. No. No,
00:36:20no, no.
00:36:24I mean, you can tell they know each other so well.
00:36:30I think this match, guys, is going to be about Takesh to wanting to push the pace athletically and Okada
00:36:37trying very hard, trying very hard to slow it down.
00:36:45Certainly a marquee match up anywhere in the world. The first match announced for double or nothing. They are on
00:36:54their feet.
00:37:05This is certainly not about you, Dawn. This is about Okada and Takesh to which man can prove the better
00:37:13tonight.
00:37:16Takesh to underneath. Leary to tip by Okada twice. And now Takesh to line!
00:37:21Well, did you have a chance, Don, to talk to either of your men about strategy going into the match?
00:37:28I mean, of course, I try to stay impartial, but these are two guys who are, they're headstrong.
00:37:33They know exactly what they want to do, and I think all this tension is going to be released tonight,
00:37:38and everyone will get along.
00:37:40That remains to be seen.
00:37:42Certainly, the tension has been building over the last year.
00:37:49Takeshita looks to usurp the international champion.
00:37:52Oh, beautiful.
00:37:53Dropkick early going.
00:37:55Takeshita sent reeling to the outside.
00:37:57Okada, so dangerous with those dropkicks.
00:38:00Don, he has tremendous range, does the champion.
00:38:03Here's the thing with Okada.
00:38:04I mean, I would say of the two, and I mean this lovingly, Takeshita's a hothead.
00:38:10He's a young guy.
00:38:11He's sick of Okada in his mind, disrespecting him.
00:38:14Baby-brothering him, even.
00:38:16I don't think there's anything about his mind.
00:38:17I think it's very clear that Okada has disdain for Takeshita.
00:38:21It could be because Okada feels threatened by the ascent of Takeshita.
00:38:25Nigel, is it not Japanese wrestling culture?
00:38:28The older guy kind of doesn't treat the younger guy that great.
00:38:30We've had that in the family, and now they're going to sort it out.
00:38:33Very much so.
00:38:35Certainly a tradition.
00:38:36The annals of pro wrestling in the land of the rising sun.
00:38:45Well, many of the greats to Harlem Asawa, Giant Barber, had their moments to step into the spotlight.
00:38:57Is this the moment for Takeshita?
00:38:59Remember, Takeshita, he's already been international champion before.
00:39:03He's intent on reclaiming that title, but in doing so, he also has a chance to overtake Kazuchika Okada.
00:39:15Oh, wow.
00:39:16I hear that break.
00:39:19Bring it in here.
00:39:19Bring it in here.
00:39:19Bring it in here.
00:39:19Bring it in here.
00:39:20Okada trying to slow Takeshita down, targeting that low back.
00:39:25Six.
00:39:27Okada, Don, you've called him great.
00:39:29Japan's greatest export ever, whereas Takeshita is the firstborn of the Don Callis family.
00:39:35Do you have any kind of preference to either of them, or straight down the middle for you?
00:39:40I see both of them as assets, as I see all of my talent as assets, and where you are
00:39:47on the pecking order goes by,
00:39:49what did you do for me lately?
00:39:51And these two guys have always both delivered.
00:39:53You favor Okada, admit it.
00:39:57Okada, look at his cocky cover.
00:39:59Yeah.
00:40:00It would be normal in a family, Tony.
00:40:02There's always one kid you treat better than the others.
00:40:05And that's Okada, right?
00:40:06But I'm a great family member, so I don't do that.
00:40:09I like to treat them as equals.
00:40:12I mentioned earlier, look at the strength of Okada.
00:40:15His ability to control the pace of a matchup.
00:40:18Absolutely commanding once he gets the advantage for Takeshita.
00:40:23Again, a cocky cover.
00:40:24The disrespect continues to flow from Kazuska Okada toward Kanosuke Takeshita.
00:40:31You mentioned the fiery aspect of Takeshita, and such a lackadaisical cover.
00:40:35Takeshita will fire up this young man.
00:40:38Just look at the facial expressions of both.
00:40:40Takeshita's angry, he's firing.
00:40:42Okada's cool as a cucumber.
00:40:47Just sticking his chin out there, Okada.
00:40:50The international champion.
00:40:52Not concerned about the right arms of Takeshita.
00:40:56Wow, what a crackable whip.
00:40:58Okada definitely has more snap on those forearms,
00:41:01which normally I would have given the edge to Takeshita.
00:41:05Takeshita really relishing, or excuse me, Okada really relishing this moment,
00:41:07but Takeshita was ready for him.
00:41:10God, Takeshita is so athletic.
00:41:13Takeshita to his feet.
00:41:17Second exploder from Takeshita.
00:41:20The snap in Takeshita's hips and the flexibility,
00:41:23the way he pops like that is incredible.
00:41:25Yes, it is.
00:41:26I agree with that, Don.
00:41:27It's amazing.
00:41:28What an athlete.
00:41:31I saw both men trying their finishing maneuvers earlier.
00:41:36The Rainmaker versus the Raging Fire.
00:41:39Now, ooh, backsting time.
00:41:41It took way too long.
00:41:42Took a minute to play to this New York crowd, and he paid for it.
00:41:46Yeah, both got hurt that time.
00:41:47You see, Okada up on one leg.
00:41:51Oh, jumping knee from Takeshita, though.
00:41:53He was ready for it.
00:41:55Takeshita used Okada's own momentum against him, guys.
00:42:03Takeshita with Okada on the outside.
00:42:07Takes to take to this guy.
00:42:11And Takeshita very nearly landing on his feet,
00:42:14but still scores with a tope.
00:42:17And favoring that back, you'll remember a few minutes ago,
00:42:20Okada drove that back into the railing.
00:42:23Look, the back landing close to the shoulder of the champion.
00:42:28It's a little more damage there,
00:42:29but as this match continues, Takeshita pushing forward.
00:42:34We're doubting.
00:42:37As I mentioned,
00:42:38the only previous one-on-one meeting between these two men
00:42:41took place last December,
00:42:43World's End, the semifinal match,
00:42:45the 2025 Continental Classic.
00:42:47It seemed like Takeshita
00:42:49was on his way
00:42:51to dethrone the Continental Champion
00:42:54to advance to the finals.
00:42:55But wait a second, Okada.
00:42:56Here we go!
00:42:57Here we go!
00:42:58Brings Takeshita to center
00:42:59and the neckbreaker!
00:43:01But, Tony, we remember it.
00:43:03Takeshita, or excuse me, Okada,
00:43:05used that screwdriver
00:43:06that Kyle Fletcher had planted
00:43:08behind the referee's back
00:43:10to down Takeshita
00:43:11and to advance to the finals.
00:43:12Yeah, did you know about that screwdriver, Don?
00:43:14That was a long time ago.
00:43:15I'm supposed to remember everything.
00:43:17I'm trying to focus on the mat.
00:43:18Yeah, that's a good point
00:43:20about what happened to Excalibur.
00:43:22Trying to use that screwdriver right now,
00:43:24Okada looks like he's in control here.
00:43:26Kind of...
00:43:28seems like he will go
00:43:29to any length
00:43:31to prevent Takeshita
00:43:33from usurping his place,
00:43:35not just in the Don Callis family,
00:43:36but in the hierarchy of professional wrestling.
00:43:38Now, Shivani, do you agree here
00:43:41that the longer this goes,
00:43:43it's in Okada's favor?
00:43:45No, I don't.
00:43:46Okay.
00:43:48Because Takeshita is a magnificent athlete.
00:43:52Oh, look at this.
00:43:53Okada's rubbing
00:43:54a middle finger in the face of Takeshita.
00:43:57The disrespect.
00:43:58Here it comes!
00:43:59Building.
00:44:00Grab the right wrist
00:44:02for Takeshita to set up the rainmaker.
00:44:05Yeah, and Takeshita knew it!
00:44:06Look at that!
00:44:07Wow!
00:44:07There's that athleticism
00:44:08you talked about, Shivani.
00:44:10The bypass and Takeshita.
00:44:12Blue Thunder, no!
00:44:12Almost got it!
00:44:13Okada!
00:44:14Counters, Okada transitions,
00:44:16looking for Tombstone Piledriver,
00:44:18perhaps Takeshita
00:44:19desperately kicking his feet,
00:44:20and now
00:44:21tables are turned
00:44:22on the champion, Takeshita!
00:44:30And...
00:44:31Wheelbarrow!
00:44:32German suplex!
00:44:33Okada to it!
00:44:34Made it up!
00:44:35Dropkick!
00:44:36Takeshita knocked back!
00:44:37Lariat!
00:44:40Wow!
00:44:41These guys are incredible!
00:44:53Wow!
00:44:54Wow!
00:44:54Wow!
00:44:55Wow!
00:44:5613 people sold out here
00:44:59in Louis Armstrong Stadium,
00:45:00and they are on their feet
00:45:02for this one, Nigel!
00:45:03This is the reason why
00:45:04the Bushido fighting spirit
00:45:06time and again
00:45:08adrenaline pushing for
00:45:09coursing through their veins
00:45:11until finally
00:45:13the rolling lariat
00:45:15from the champion!
00:45:18But look at this!
00:45:19Takeshita,
00:45:20the first man back to his feet!
00:45:22Both men were struggling it up,
00:45:24struggling up.
00:45:24Takeshita with the assistance
00:45:25of the ropes,
00:45:26but Takeshita's
00:45:27going through now
00:45:27to the ring apron.
00:45:28Yeah, Takeshita got up first,
00:45:30Nigel arrived,
00:45:30but he plummeted
00:45:32back down to the apron.
00:45:34It is it all!
00:45:37It is it all!
00:45:42International champion here
00:45:44with bad intentions,
00:45:45or perhaps it was Takeshita
00:45:47that baited the champion out
00:45:49to the apron.
00:45:50Gotta be careful
00:45:50of footing, Nigel, here, right?
00:45:52Yeah, there's not a lot
00:45:53of distance on that apron
00:45:54and a quick slip
00:45:55and you can roll on ankle.
00:45:56Oh!
00:45:58We saw just
00:45:59a few nights ago
00:46:01Kunosuke Takeshita
00:46:02when he challenged
00:46:02Darby Allin
00:46:03for the AW World Championship
00:46:05in Okada's place.
00:46:07Takeshita was not afraid
00:46:08to take a massive risk
00:46:09to land that blue thunder
00:46:11from the apron
00:46:11to the floor.
00:46:13That blue thunder
00:46:14is one of the most
00:46:15incredible finishing
00:46:16maneuvers I've seen.
00:46:19What is this now?
00:46:20He may be looking
00:46:21for a blue thunder
00:46:21but to the floor
00:46:23long way down
00:46:24a wave of the raging fire
00:46:26no way!
00:46:26This is not good!
00:46:27No way!
00:46:27Not good!
00:46:29Okada is up
00:46:30and Okada grabbing
00:46:30on to the top rope.
00:46:32Swing and a miss by
00:46:33Takeshita.
00:46:34Okada.
00:46:35Rain!
00:46:36Oh my God!
00:46:37The maker on the apron!
00:46:38Oh my God!
00:46:39Hit the back of his head
00:46:40I do believe!
00:46:42Takeshita is out
00:46:43his eyes rolling
00:46:45in his head
00:46:45like marbles.
00:46:47Takeshita's hurt guys!
00:46:48You know you're right!
00:46:50This is concerning.
00:46:52Takeshita hasn't moved.
00:46:54His eyes closed.
00:46:56Just look at the neck
00:46:57of Takeshita.
00:46:58The smart moving
00:46:59from the champion
00:46:59landing the Rainmaker flash
00:47:02but a very awkward landing
00:47:04on the apron
00:47:05for the challenger.
00:47:07Back to live action.
00:47:08Okada
00:47:09has now
00:47:10gone to the floor
00:47:12with Takeshita
00:47:13and Takeshita
00:47:15has not moved much.
00:47:17He's being dropped
00:47:18with that Rainmaker.
00:47:19Got a front face
00:47:19lock hook guys.
00:47:23DDT!
00:47:24Nasty!
00:47:25Did you hear
00:47:26that impact?
00:47:28Look at the smile
00:47:28on Okada's face.
00:47:30With broad
00:47:31toothy grint.
00:47:32I don't like this
00:47:33I mean
00:47:33I don't need
00:47:35one of these assets
00:47:36put on the shelf
00:47:37forever here.
00:47:38You can't throw
00:47:39the towel in Don.
00:47:41This match
00:47:42is going to go
00:47:42to a finish
00:47:43whether you like it
00:47:44or not.
00:47:45Oh no, no, no!
00:47:47Wait a minute, Don.
00:47:50Don wants to protect
00:47:51his assets.
00:47:57Fair point.
00:48:03Don Cowell is trying
00:48:06as you said
00:48:06to prevent
00:48:07his assets
00:48:07to prevent
00:48:11Okada from
00:48:12ending the career
00:48:12of Takeshita.
00:48:14Takeshita.
00:48:16He's got
00:48:17I could have
00:48:17broke his neck.
00:48:18I mean,
00:48:18this is supposed
00:48:19to be about
00:48:20getting all these
00:48:21bad feelings out
00:48:22but I don't want
00:48:22to be left
00:48:23with someone
00:48:23in a hospital
00:48:24for six months.
00:48:25Come on.
00:48:25You know,
00:48:26I kind of
00:48:26agree with you.
00:48:27I think it's
00:48:27about winning
00:48:28the match
00:48:28but for Okada
00:48:29right now
00:48:30referee Rick Knox
00:48:31he's about
00:48:32to count
00:48:33Takeshita out
00:48:34but Okada
00:48:34intervened.
00:48:37And
00:48:38Okada thinking
00:48:39about something
00:48:39but wait a second.
00:48:40No!
00:48:41No!
00:48:42No!
00:48:42No brain!
00:48:43Busted
00:48:43on the floor!
00:48:45Hey!
00:48:46What are you doing?
00:48:47And Don Kale
00:48:48is apoplectic!
00:49:03Don
00:49:03Don
00:49:03Don
00:49:06it seems like
00:49:07Takeshita
00:49:07may be done
00:49:08listening to you.
00:49:09Yeah,
00:49:09I think he taught
00:49:10him to kick rocks
00:49:10in so many words.
00:49:15Takeshita!
00:49:15Oh God
00:49:16Okada is out
00:49:17on his feet!
00:49:18Hell of a kick
00:49:18delivered in the corner
00:49:20as now Takeshita
00:49:22brings Okada
00:49:22to the top!
00:49:24Oh boy!
00:49:25Long way up!
00:49:27Especially
00:49:27with a bad neck!
00:49:29Maybe think
00:49:30it's Superplex
00:49:30or it could be
00:49:31Avalanche
00:49:32Raging Fires!
00:49:33Superplex!
00:49:34It is!
00:49:35And he's
00:49:35holding on to it!
00:49:39No, Okada
00:49:40behind Takeshita
00:49:41Okada
00:49:42ringmaker
00:49:44intercepted
00:49:44Oh!

00:49:48Takeshita!
00:49:49Oh!
00:49:50Hubs

00:49:51German
00:49:51suplex

00:49:52and 0!
00:49:55That's as close
00:49:56as it gets
00:49:57gentlemen
00:49:57right there.
00:49:58Yeah it is man
00:49:59what a freaking
00:50:00match.
00:50:01You want to
00:50:02protect your asses
00:50:03Don
00:50:03that's as close
00:50:04as it needs
00:50:04to get.
00:50:05Takeshita
00:50:06can't believe it
00:50:07he thought that
00:50:08was 3 for sure.
00:50:09Way up there
00:50:10the champion
00:50:11a good 6 feet
00:50:12in the air
00:50:12a perfect bridge
00:50:13from the challenger
00:50:14who realizes
00:50:16how close he is
00:50:17to taking the title.
00:50:18Takeshita now
00:50:19backs up to the corner
00:50:20perhaps poised
00:50:22to deliver
00:50:24the power drive
00:50:25knee Okada
00:50:26counter
00:50:29He spiked him
00:50:31and I mean
00:50:31I saw the mat move
00:50:32and he may have
00:50:34been able to win it
00:50:34but he can't
00:50:35make a cover
00:50:36Don
00:50:39Okada
00:50:39famous
00:50:40for his endurance
00:50:42is spent
00:50:43right now
00:50:43guys
00:50:45Just look at this
00:50:46lying in white
00:50:47and to your point
00:50:48the hat
00:50:49driven
00:50:50compressed
00:50:51into the mat
00:50:53and when you find
00:50:54yourself in that
00:50:54position
00:50:55no one you can do
00:50:56other than to
00:50:57tuck your chin
00:50:58and try to protect
00:50:58your neck
00:50:59as best as you can
00:51:00and I think
00:51:01that was the issue
00:51:02Takeshita didn't
00:51:02have his chin tucked
00:51:03but he's up
00:51:05what an incredible
00:51:07young athlete
00:51:08but Okada
00:51:10answers with an
00:51:11elbow strike
00:51:11Takeshita
00:51:13replies with one
00:51:13of his own

00:51:18breeze
00:51:19blowing through

00:52:18Spaghetti legs
00:52:20Rainmaker
00:52:22No
00:52:23Takeshita floats over
00:52:24Pinfall

00:52:26Okada
00:52:27Narrow escape

00:52:31I think cost him a three
00:52:32Power drive
00:52:33Knee blocked

00:53:34of Okada
00:53:35I don't know
00:53:35that I've seen
00:53:36He's angry
00:53:43Takeshita is such
00:53:44an incredible
00:53:45special athlete
00:53:46and wrestler
00:53:51Perhaps the
00:53:52knockout blow

00:54:09winner
00:54:09is the new
00:54:12AEW
00:54:14International
00:54:16Champion
00:54:17The Alpha
00:54:19Kudusuke
00:54:20Takeshita
00:54:28for the second time
00:54:30Konosuke Takeshita
00:54:32can call himself
00:54:35AEW
00:54:36international champion
00:54:38but this victory
00:54:39has to be all the more sweet
00:54:41finally prevailing
00:54:44over the rainmaker
00:54:46Kazuchika Okada
00:54:48earlier in the week
00:54:50Takeshita told me to report
00:54:52what I dislike the most about Okada
00:54:55is that he has no respect for me
00:54:57well
00:54:59he's got to have respect
00:55:01for him right now I would think
00:55:05Tony that's a great point
00:55:07Okada now
00:55:08has no choice but to acknowledge
00:55:11that the better man won tonight
00:55:12and the better man
00:55:13was the Alpha
00:55:15Konosuke Takeshita
00:55:17what an absolute sensational match
00:55:20Nigel, absolutely
00:55:21two incredible moments
00:55:23everybody on their feet
00:55:25but as Takeshita celebrates
00:55:27as the new international champion
00:55:29the Don Kalis family
00:55:31have made their way out here
00:55:32to ringside
00:55:36Romero
00:55:37the national champion
00:55:39Mark Davis
00:55:41will wait now
00:55:42we'll wait now
00:56:09we'll wait now
00:56:10It's kind of like, it looks like four-on-one to me.
00:56:13The dunk.
00:56:27Well, the man that played go between,
00:56:30between Okada and Takeshita.
00:56:33And a man who,
00:56:36very close friends,
00:56:40with Konosuke Takeshita,
00:56:43the former TNT champion,
00:56:46the Proto-Star, Kyle Fletcher.
00:56:47We've not seen him
00:56:50since his injury.
00:56:53Well, listen, it was a clean win.
00:56:55No interference.
00:56:56It was one-on-one,
00:56:58and now the Don Callis family
00:56:59apparently wants to make something of this.
00:57:02Well, where does Kyle Fletcher's loyalties fall?
00:57:07It looked like it was about to be four-on-one,
00:57:09but now,
00:57:10is it five-on-one?
00:57:34Don Callis calling off the troops.
00:57:40He does not want to see this
00:57:42completely consume the family.
00:57:45He may have already lost one member tonight
00:57:47that Takeshita can't afford to lose Kyle Fletcher as well.
00:57:50He has nothing to complain about.
00:57:51It was a great match.
00:57:52It was an incredible match.
00:58:07Congratulations to the new
00:58:10AEW International Champion,
00:58:14the Alpha,
00:58:16Konosuke Takeshita.
00:58:18The world is excited
00:58:21to see where he goes
00:58:23from here.
00:58:24A cie.
00:58:28Right?
00:58:34Yeah, yeah.
00:58:36Yeah, yeah.
00:58:50Here we go.
00:58:52Here we go.
00:58:53And now,
01:00:01I hope it was worth it, Kyle.
01:00:03And the snakes slither back in.
01:00:29Oh, what the hell? No, come on.
01:00:31Oh, the hyenas, the vultures.
01:00:48Years of friendship between Kyle Fletcher and Kunosuke Takeshi.
01:00:53Years that predate their time here at AEW.
01:00:56Well, if a true friend stabs you in the front, Kyle Fletcher is no friend to Kunosuke Takeshi.
01:01:03And this horrible showing does not diminish a match that we just saw, gentlemen, because it was spectacular.
01:01:13Unfortunate for this had to happen.
01:01:21Kyle Fletcher, the betrayal of the new international champion, Kunosuke Takeshi.
01:01:36Kyle Fletcher was out with injury, but now he's back.
01:01:46And he has cemented his affiliation with Don Callis and the family.
01:02:10Well, fans, it is that time of year that Owen Hart Foundation tournament kicks off next.
01:02:16Live and double or nothing, it will be the ring of honor women's forever world champion, Athena, taking on Mina
01:02:28Shirakawa in the opening contest.
01:02:32The first round matchup in the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation women's tournament.
