Will Ospreay wins his first title in AEW at Double or Nothing

The PPV portion of Double or Nothing started hot on Sun., May 26 in Las Vegas with Will Ospreay challenging Roderick Strong for the International title.

With those two representing The Don Callis Family and Undisputed Kingdom respectively, there were plenty of opportunities for outside involvement. Ospreay had a strategy for dealing with Strong’s sidekicks Mike Bennett & Matt Taven early.

But that didn’t deter them. Ospreay landed on his head taking a tandem spot from Taven & Bennett…

…and was attacked from behind by Wardlow, too. Referee Bryce Remsburg eventually ejected all three Undisputed Kingdom members from ringside.

The damage was done, though. With the Brit selling his forehead (busted open in an Undisputed Kingdom attack last week), head & neck, back, and a knee, the Messiah of the Backbreaker targeted them all. Will wasn’t going out like that, of course. And when his comeback left Remsburg checking on Roddy, Callis got up from commentary to tell Ospreay to use Tiger Driver ‘91 to finish the match.

Tiger Driver ‘91, you’ll recall, is the move Ospreay “injured” Bryan Danielson with last month at Dynasty. The Aerial Assassin then said he was retiring the move.

Ospreay got Strong up for it, but couldn’t bring himself to do it.

He didn’t need it, and moments later he pinned Roddy to win his first title as a member of the All Elite roster.
