As the match got underway, it quickly became apparent that both Ospreay and Omega were determined to secure victory. The one-on-one contest showcased their incredible athleticism and unwavering determination. Don Callis, accompanying Ospreay to the ring, was ejected by the referee, adding an extra layer of drama to the proceedings.
With both competitors giving their all, the match reached a critical point. Omega seemed poised for victory, delivering his devastating One Winged Angel move. However, with the assistance of Callis, Ospreay managed to escape and turned the tables. Executing his signature Storm Breaker move, Ospreay pinned Omega, astonishing the crowd.
Will Ospreay claimed the IWGP United States Championship for the second time in his career. The win brought an end to Kenny Omega’s reign as champion, which lasted 172 days with only one successful defense.
