Kenny Omega to defend International title at AEW Fyter Fest, tournament revealed
After surviving a hellacious Anarchy in the Arena match, AEW International Champion Kenny Omega will defend his title at next month’s Fyter Fest special.
Announced during Sunday’s Double or Nothing, Omega will defend the title in a four-way at the four-hour special on Wednesday, June 4th on TBS. His opponents will be determined in a tournament that kicks off this week on Dynamite and Collision.
On Wednesday’s Dynamite from El Paso, Texas:
- Josh Alexander vs. Brody King
On Saturday’s Collision from El Paso, Texas (taped after Dynamite):
- Claudio Castagnoli vs. Komander
- Mascara Dorada vs. Hechicero
The winners of those three bouts will then face Omega in the four-way in Denver, Colorado, the following Wednesday.
Omega has held the title for nearly 80 days, winning it at March’s Revolution with his win over Konosuke Takeshita. He has one title defense since then, beating “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Ricochet at April’s Dynasty.
The matches are the first announced for this week and for Fyter Fest.
