Major upset at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II; Title reign ends at 173 days

NJPW star Will Ospreay and AEW star Kenny Omega have been one of the hottest rivals in recent history. Tonight at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, they clashed for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.

It marked their second gruesome showdown as they last wrestled at Wrestle Kingdom 17 earlier this year, where Omega took the IWGP US Heavyweight Title in what was a bloodbath of a match.

Expectations for the match tonight were that it would match their earlier banger of a contest, and it did not disappoint. The bout had everything, blood, sweat, and tons of action. At one point, even Don Callis got involved to help Will Ospreay.

Both superstars were able to hit their finishing maneuvers at points in the match, which led fans to think it was over, but some crazy near-falls kept the match going. After a long, hard-hitting contest, Ospreay hit the Storm Breaker to finally secure the victory, ending AEW star Kenny Omega's reign at 173 days.
