Twitter in disbelief after Christian Cage stuns the world by winning IMPACT World Championship on AEW Rampage
Christian Cage did the seemingly unthinkable on AEW Rampage when he handed Kenny Omega his first singles loss in over a year. Christian also became the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion in the process, finally ending Omega's reign, which began in April this year.
The match opened the debut episode of AEW Rampage, with the Pittsburgh crowd firmly rooting for Christian Cage to win. It was particularly heartening that the fans were favoring Christian, considering he didn't receive the desired reaction on AEW Dynamite when he was announced as the challenger for the AEW Championship at All Out 2021.
Kenny Omega and Christian left their all in the ring, wrestling an evenly-contested back-and-forth match. Just when it looked like Captain Charisma was in the driver's seat, Don Callis and The Young Bucks tried to interfere in the bout. The AEW Tag Team Champions brought a chair with them, which played a key role in the match's ending.
While Callis kept the referee distracted, Omega tried to deliver the One-Winded Angel to Christian onto the chair. However, the former WWE star instead reversed it into a Killswitch to secure the win on AEW Rampage. Soon after the match ended, Twitter went wild over the result.
Paul Wight, Renee Paquette, among others reacted to Christian Cage's triumph on AEW Rampage
AEW broadcaster Paul Wight was one of the first people to react to Christian Cage's win. The former Big Show had nothing but praise for the efforts put in by Kenny Omega and Captain Charisma. Matt Hardy also shared his positive reaction to the match, while former WWE broadcaster Renee Paquette reminded fans of Christian's greatness as a performer.
Many fans also shared their opinions on Christian's IMPACT Wrestling World Championship win, with most of them pleased with the match's outcome. Check out some of the Twitter reactions below:
