Kazuchika Okada wins AEW International Championship, fends off Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita at All In

Video AEW and ROH star Lee Moriarty talks All In All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor star Lee Moriarty talks to OutKick about All In 2026.

Kyle Fletcher made his return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) programming at Double or Nothing after Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kazuchika Okada for the International Championship. Fletcher worked his way back quickly to capture the title for himself.

Fletcher entered All In on Sunday trying to defend the title against both men. With each wrestler in the ring, the match had a chance to steal the show. Fletcher started with a superkick to Okada, who appeared to be aligned as part of the Don Callis Family going into the match. Still, it proved that it was every man for himself.

Okada hit Fletcher with two Rainmakers. When he went for a third, Fletcher countered with a devastating lariat of his own. Takeshita watched it from the outside as he caught his breath. He quickly got back into the match but trying to take out Fletcher proved to be a daunting task. Fletcher caught Takeshita on the top rope and went for a brainbuster. But Takeshita reversed the move into a tornado DDT of sorts.

Thoroughly spent, Takeshita and Fletcher knocked Okada out of the ring. The two then met in the middle of the ring once more and began to throw forearms at each other. Fletcher then ate a Blue Thunder Bomb and hit Takeshita with a turnbuckle brainbuster.
