Kenny Omega is still your IWGP United States Champion.
The Cleaner defeated Jeff Cobb on this evening’s AEW Dynamite from St. Louis, a match that Cobb had been asking clamoring for ever since Omega won the title from Will Ospreay at WrestleKingdom 17 back in January. Despite his best efforts, he fell victim to Omega’s One-Winged Angel.
However, the champion didn’t have too much time to celebrate. The Blackpool Combat Club, led by Jon Moxley, surrounded the ring and looked prepared to attack Omega after his victory. Bryan Danielson then came out and convinced the BCC to back off, but it was all a ruse as the American Dragon then attacked Omega and trapped him in the crossface.
