Konosuke Takeshita pinned Kazuchika Okada at AEW Double or Nothing 2026 to capture the AEW International Championship, becoming a two-time holder of the belt. Okada entered the match as defending champion but took the pinfall, ending his reign. Postmatch Kyle Fletcher returned and betrayed Takeshita, attacking him and immediately complicating the new champion's run. The title change reshapes AEW's International division and sets up rematches and a multi-person storyline between Takeshita, Okada, and Fletcher heading into upcoming shows.
