Key Moments from the Match and Fallout
Hangman Adam Page, who is set to face Andrade El Idolo at the event to decide the next number one contender, played a crucial role in King’s win. As the bell rang to start the King vs. MJF match, Page’s entrance music played, distracting MJF. Taking advantage, King managed to choke him out, causing MJF to collapse outside the ring.
King then returned MJF to the ring and executed a cannonball from the corner, followed by the decisive Gonzo Bomb move to claim victory. After the finish, Andrade El Idolo appeared and struck King with a back elbow before targeting MJF. Page responded quickly with a Buckshot Lariat on Andrade and attempted to attack MJF as well. Ultimately, King emerged standing tall, holding the AEW World Championship after delivering a second Gonzo Bomb to the champion.
