SouthernWorldwide.com – Kyle Fletcher made a shocking appearance at AEW Double or Nothing, delivering a brutal beatdown to Konosuke Takeshita shortly after Takeshita secured the AEW International Championship.
The highly anticipated rematch between Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita finally took place at AEW’s Double or Nothing event. This bout was a culmination of their previous encounter in the Continental Classic semifinals at Worlds End in December.
For months, the two members of the Don Callis Family had been at odds. Their growing animosity led to a highly competitive match for Okada’s International Championship on Sunday.
The match itself lived up to the hype. It was a fast-paced and hard-hitting affair, with both Okada and Takeshita demonstrating incredible resilience and refusing to stay down.

The crowd at Louis Armstrong Stadium was captivated, chanting “Fight forever!” as the two superstars exchanged devastating blows. The intensity was palpable throughout the contest.
Okada hit his signature Tombstone Piledriver, followed by the Rainmaker. However, Takeshita remarkably kicked out at the count of one, showcasing his incredible fighting spirit.
In a moment of defiance, Takeshita managed to muster the strength to hit Okada with his own version of the Rainmaker, showing he could match Okada’s power.
Takeshita ultimately secured the victory with his finisher, Raging Fire, to become the new AEW International Champion. This marks his second reign with the title, which is his only singles championship in the company to date.
However, Takeshita’s celebration was short-lived. He had to remain vigilant as the Don Callis Family’s intentions became clear. The situation escalated when Kyle Fletcher’s music hit, sending the audience into a frenzy.
Fletcher made his way to the ring, with all members of the Callis faction watching his next move. Initially, Fletcher appeared to embrace Takeshita, raising his hand in a gesture of congratulations.
This moment of apparent camaraderie was fleeting. Fletcher abruptly clotheslined Takeshita, then proceeded to strike him with the championship belt.
With Rocky Romero and Mark Davis holding Takeshita in place, Fletcher’s actions made his allegiance unmistakably clear. His attack signaled his loyalty to the Don Callis Family.
