Rich Swann sent Omega to the floor and followed up with a dive through the ropes. He moved back up top, hitting a phoenix splash off the turnbuckle and crashing into the AEW World Champion.
Swann fired up, chopping and punching Omega around the ring. Kenny turned things around with a high-angle belly-to-back suplex. A back suplex on the apron hit as well, though Swann was able to block Omega's attempt on the barricade.
A nasty mule kick to the gut stunned Omega, but he launched Swann's head first onto the apron. Back in the ring, a buckle bomb and fisherman's neck breaker continued to focus on that newly created weak point. A pendulum backbreaker and modified bow and arrow saw Swann nearly bent in half.
Rich was able to counter Omega, rocking him with a mule kick to the jaw and hitting a big splash for a near fall. Kenny Omega fought back, battering the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion with chops and clubbing elbows. Swann only fired up and began trading strikes with the Best Bout Machine. A flying clothesline and hurricanrana sent Omega into the corner.
Omega found himself on top, and after a step-up enzuigiri from Swann, he was launched to the middle of the mat with a leaping hurricanrana. Omega and Swann battled to the top once again, and again the latter got the better of Kenny. Swann dumped Omega from the top onto his neck.
A Frog Splash connected, and Swann was merely a millisecond away from victory. Omega fought back with the Dr. Wily gut-wrench sit-out powerbomb. Swann struggled to get to his feet, but he was rocked with a V-Trigger.
Omega's One Winged Angel failed, but a rolling heel kick to the back of the neck left Swann out on his feet. Another V-Trigger in the corner cracked Swann in the face.
Omega took Rich up for an avalanche One Winged Angel, falling backward and bringing Omega down for a sunset flip. Again, Swann was just a whisker away from victory.
IMPACT Wrestling VP Scott D'Amore was sweating bullets the longer this match went on. Swann hit a superkick but was hammered with another V-Trigger. Two snap dragon suplexes left Swann in a heap on the mat. A third was blocked and Rich caught Kenny with a standing cutter. As Swann went for his handspring cutter, Omega sent IMPACT Wrestling official Brian Hebner into the move.
As Aubrey Edwards checked on Edwards, Omega grabbed a chair. Edwards yanked it out of his hand, though, allowing Swann to hit his cutter. Omega missed a V-Trigger and was rocked with the Swann Song. The Spinning Michinoku Driver earned a two-count. IMPACT Wrestling's Brian Hebner was back in it at this point.
A straight kick to the jaw set Swann up for the Phoenix Splash. Unfortunately, a V-Trigger was all that was waiting for Rich. As Omega went for the One Winged Angel, he changed the move into Croyt's Wrath. Swann kicked out of that and the Jay Driller.
The IMPACT Wrestling World Champion more than proved himself tonight but was unable to avoid another V-Trigger. Another one hit the mark, and the third would've but Swann fell forward on his face. Omega set Swann up in the ropes, in front of Eddie Edwards and Willie Mack, and drove his knee in for one final V-Trigger.
Somehow, Swann still had a fight left in him. A brainbuster planted Omega, and he went for that Phoenix Splash once again. Omega rolled out of harm's way, and a final V-Trigger knocked Swann's head off. The One Winged Angel connected, and that was all she wrote.
