Will Ospreay betrayed at AEW WrestleDream 2024 in huge twist; loses his International Championship

Will Ospreay lost his AEW International Championship tonight at WrestleDream due to a heartbreaking betrayal from a long-time friend. Kyle Fletcher turned his back on The Aerial Assassin in a huge twist.

In NJPW, Ospreay and Fletcher were members of the United Empire. They later reunited in AEW as members of the Don Callis Family. Tonight, the 31-year-old put his title on the line against Ricochet and Konosuke Takeshita. Don Callis was on commentary to support The Alpha. It was a show-stealing contest, with all three men coming close to capturing the gold on multiple occasions.

At a crucial juncture in the match, it seemed like Will Ospreay would retain his title. However, Callis got involved and pulled the referee out of the ring. With no official present, the veteran got a screwdriver and threatened to strike Ospreay. The Aerial Assassin retaliated, but in the end, he was blindsided by Kyle Fletcher.

Fletcher used the screwdriver to assault Ospreay, allowing Takeshita to hit him with a knee strike to secure the title. To add insult to injury, Fletcher hit Will Ospreay with a Tiger Driver 91 before leaving the ring with the new champion. This has given the International Championship storyline a big turn.
