They were both left bloody after using the cage and various weapons. Ospreay with the spanish fly off the top of the cage. Ospreay put him away with his finisher for the win.
After the match, AEW released a post-match interview with the top star. Ospreay declared that he is ready to be the guy for AEW going forward.
Ospreay stated, “Caught me hiding from the medical team. I’ve never been more scared in my entire life, being honest with you. When I was up there and I had a hold of him, I knew what I was going to do, and I could see everything. I could see the entire crypto Arena, and I knew what I had to do. I had to cling on to someone that I called my little brother once upon a time, cling on to him before jumping off a 20 foot steel cage, planting him into the ground, and just before I put those finishing touches in, I think that broke my heart more than anything because he looked me in my eyes and he said, I hate you. Once upon a time, I would have done anything for Kyle Fletcher, anything. There’s not many people in WWE saying that. I would generally say, like I would take a bullet for him. I would. It’s my little brother. He’s the one person I remember when I first started seeing my misses who had a kid. He’s the first person I told and the words that he said to me really felt me of confidence that I could be better than just an immature young man. I could take care of this kid, I could take care of my misses, and I could take care of everyone and become my little family that I wanted and see what we become. It’s heartbreaking, but I can’t sit here any longer and look into my shadows and look into my past. I’ve got to move on. So I’m going to see you guys later. I have a mission. I have always wanted to be the guy. I’ve always wanted the responsibility. I’ve always wanted the ball, and here I am, 31 years old….. And I could safely say right now, I want that responsibility. I want the ball. I want to be the guy. This isn’t where the best wrestle. This is where Billy wrestles.”
