The bell sounds and it’s time for AEW International Championship action. The fans break out in loud dueling chants for each guy as they stare each other down. They finally start mixing it up, with some good back-and-forth action. Penta knocks the champ to the floor and hits a big high spot as we head to a mid-match commercial.

When we return from the break, we see Cassidy in the middle of hitting the ropes and diving through them on the other side of the ring for a big tope suicida on Penta. Penta recovers and flattens Cassidy with a super kick on the floor and then he hits an even bigger diving splash from the ring to the floor.

Back in the ring, Cassidy fights back into competitive form and then connects with a huge tornado DDT to slow Penta’s momentum down. The crowd rallies behind him as he looks to try and finish off one-half of The Lucha Bros. As Penta fights back into the lead, we head into our final mid-match commercial break of the evening.

As we settle back in from the final commercial of the show, we see Penta and Cassidy fighting back and forth. Penta hits the Sling Blade for a close near fall, but Cassidy kicks out and starts to come back to life. Penta takes over again and nearly finishes him off on the hard part of the ring apron but Cassidy kicks out of the follow-up pin attempt.

Penta continues to focus his attack on the injured arm of the champ. He hits his Fear Factor finisher in the middle of the ring and nearly wins, but Cassidy just barely kicks out and then rolls an unsuspecting Penta up for the win. With the win, he retains the title and will defend it against Jon Moxley at ALL OUT this Sunday.

Winner and STILL AEW International Champion: Orange Cassidy

After the match Cassidy asks for a chair. He sets it up in the ring and his music dies down. He talks about how his back pack gets a little heavier every time he defends his AEW International Championship after talking about how beat up his body feels. He talks about how he was told he is too skinny and too short and too different to succeed.

He stands up and yells “I’m the champion and I will continue to defend my championship for as long as I want and there is nothing anyone can do to take it from me. Jon Moxley, you better bring more than just a fork, because I will always be the International Champion. Because I’m Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy, and I do not have a catchphrase.” He drops the mic and his theme plays again to end the post-match promo.

After that, we see Jon Moxley make his way down from the back. He speed-walks into the ring and gets in Cassidy’s face. Cassidy’s theme shuts off. They each shove each other and then have a big stare down. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
