MJF Beats Will Ospreay for AEW International Title in Buzzer Beater Before Hour Time Limit Draw

Tony Khan has booked numerous high-profile matches, and the MJF vs. Will Ospreay bout is one that would typically receive a lengthy buildup. Surprisingly, the match was announced last week, and fans got to witness it tonight.

MJF recently ended his hiatus from AEW, returning at Double or Nothing. He has not faced a challenge like Ospreay since his return. This dream match for the International Title had a short buildup but still generated significant excitement.

AEW’s 250th episode began with MJF vs. Ospreay, with the crowd eager to see the match live. MJF engaged with the audience by ripping up fan signs before focusing on Ospreay.

The match featured intense action, including high spots and crowd interactions. MJF employed relentless submission holds to wear Ospreay down. The competitors also paid homage to wrestling legends, with MJF mimicking Rick Rude and Ospreay channeling Ric Flair.

During the match, Ospreay appeared to injure his shoulder while attempting an Ozcutter on the apron. Despite the setback, he continued and regained control of the match, prompting “Fight Forever” chants from the crowd at the 30-minute mark.

Near the match’s conclusion, MJF and Ospreay brawled in the crowd, with MJF giving a child the middle finger and Ospreay encouraging the girl to slap him. After returning to the ring, they exchanged near falls, with the crowd erupting in “This is Awesome” chants.

The action intensified as Ospreay set MJF on a ringside table, only for MJF to dodge his dive. The match continued with several dramatic moments, including Ospreay performing a Styles Clash on the ring apron and MJF delivering a picture-perfect elbow drop through a table.

Ospreay hit MJF with a top-rope Ozcutter and a Forbidden Blade, but MJF kicked out. With less than a minute remaining, Ospreay prepared for a Tiger Diver 96 but hesitated, allowing MJF to shove him into the referee. MJF then used a hidden object to secure the pinfall victory with just one second left on the clock. After the pin, it was revealed that MJF had his Dynamite Diamond ring on for that knock out blow.

MJF, a former AEW World Champion, emerged victorious, while Ospreay fell short of clinching the gold. This match marks a new chapter in MJF’s career as International Champion, and it remains to be seen how both wrestlers will move forward.
