Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley gave it their all in the battle for the AEW World Championship, but it was the ‘Best Bout Machine’ who walked out as the face and top champion of All Elite Wrestling.
After winning the AEW World Title Tournament, Kenny Omega stated that ‘The Cleaner’ was back and was going to win the AEW World Championship. Kudos to Kenny, he kept his word! But the victory didn’t come the way some fans expected to see.

In the closing moments of the match, Omega climbed up on the top rope. Just as Moxley was about to push him outside, Kenny jumped and saved himself. He then got back on the apron and got smashed with Mox’s forearm. Mox followed up with pulling down Omega from the apron, leading to Omega hitting his head hard.
Moxley came back to the ring, but Don Callis came down to ringside. Mox punched Callis, who got floored but threw in a microphone towards Kenny Omega. As the referee continued checking on Don Callis, Kenny Omega took the perfect advantage to hit Moxley right in the middle of the eyes with a mic.
Whatever it takes, right?

The finish came as a tremendous shock to many. Kenny’s actions were not at all expected, and with Don Callis playing such a role, it all seemed great from a fan perspective. Immediately after winning the title, Callis and Omega left the building to loud boos and disapproval.
