Kazuchika Okada reclaims AEW International Title, beating Fletcher and Takeshita in three-way at AEW All In: London – POST Wrestling

Kazuchika Okada has the AEW International Championship once again.

“The Rainmaker” prevailed in a three-way against rivals Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher as part of Sunday night’s All In pay-per-view card, kicking off his second run with the title.

Shortly after Fletcher took out Takeshita with a brainbuster onto the top turnbuckle, Okada slid into the ring and caught Fletcher off guard with a Rainmaker for the pinfall win in 13 minutes.

The finish came after a fast-paced match which highlighted the dynamics between all three men, two of whom still inhabit the same faction in the Don Callis Family. The bout included callbacks, including the use of a screwdriver, and many intricate three-man sequences.

After his win, Okada and Callis instructed Fletcher to raise the new champ’s hand. Fletcher begrudgingly did so to end the segment.

Takeshita, Okada, and Fletcher have been locked in a feud for months.

Takeshita was dramatically ousted from the Don Callis Family at Double or Nothing earlier this year, kicked out of the group by former close ally Fletcher. Tension has increased between Okada and Fletcher within the Family in recent months, as Okada has made it not so subtle that he looked to take the Australian wrestler’s title off him.

Okada previously carried the belt for over 300 days, winning it over Kenny Omega at last year’s All In event.

The Japanese star later dropped the title to Takeshita at Double or Nothing in May, kicking off the DDT and NJPW wrestler’s second run with the title. He would hold the title for 45 days, losing it to Fletcher as part of a Beach Break edition of Dynamite last month.
