Mysterious masked AEW star uses Rey Mysterio's finisher; crowned NEW champion

A top AEW star has just paid a quick tribute to WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio by using his finisher to help him score a win and capture a major championship. This would be Kommander.

Tonight at ROH Final Battle, a Survivor of the Fittest match took place with Brian Cage's ROH World TV Championship on the line. He faced off against the likes of Kommander, Blake Christian, AR Fox, Willie Mack, and Mark Davis.

Mark Davis eliminated The Machine, ensuring a new champion would be crowned tonight. Kommander and Blake Christian were the final two competitors left in the match.

After several back-and-forth exchanges, the luchador took control. He hit a Mexican Destroyer, which helped set him up to pay tribute to Rey Mysterio with a 619. The cherry on top of this was his hitting Cielito Lindo for the win, making him the new ROH TV Champion.

See the whole sequence below.

Last year, the AEW luchador fell short of becoming the champion after becoming the second placer to Kyle Fletcher in last year's Survival of the Fittest at Final Battle.

Now he has scored a monumental victory for his career, and he'll now look to hopefully close out the AEW Continental Classic on a high note as well.
