Kyle Fletcher immediately catches Orange Cassidy with a huge kick to the face which he follows up with a brainbuster, almost catching the champion out early on. Cassidy aims for the Orange Punch but misses and then gets dropkicked outside the ring as Fletcher dives out and sends him into the barricade. Cassidy responds by pushing Fletcher from the turnbuckles onto the ring apron which he follows by DDT’ing him onto it from the top turnbuckle. 

The champion then connects with Beach Break outside the ring but he breaks the count. Inside the ring, Cassidy hits a dropkick but is immediately dropped with a thrust kick and he then lifts Cassidy to hit a delayed superplex but the champion kicks out. Cassidy responds by playing some mind games, rolling in and out of the ring as Fletcher chases after him. However, once Fletcher finally gets hold of him he takes control with a half-and-half suplex only to be rocked with a Stundog Millionaire and then a DDT.

Cassidy then aims for a diving crossbody, but he is just caught in mid-air and driven to the mat by a Michinoku Driver, but he then kicks out. Fletcher manages to hit a big running boot, but Cassidy manages to fight back once again and he starts hitting his slow-motion punches and then a Michinoku Driver of his own which Fletcher kicks out from. The NJPW star then nails a piledriver and a spinning Tombstone, but Cassidy manages to kick out. 

The challenger takes to the second rope with the champion to hit an avalanche Michinoku Driver, but Cassidy kicks out once more. He then counters Fletcher and spikes him onto the mat, but his Orange Punch attempt is met with a thrust kick. Fletcher then aims for another move, but he gets countered by Cassidy who rolls him up which allows him to retain. 

Winner (and still AEW International Champion): Orange Cassidy
