After an impressive showing from AR Fox, Will Ospreay ducked a 450 splash and hit the Hidden Blade for the victory.
It is possible the original plan was for Ospreay to stay out of the ring for a while longer to sell the damage from the Steel Cage match.
The Aerial Assassin certainly worked like he was still hurting, almost struggling to keep up with his opponent.
It was a fun match for Ospreay, who has not had enough of those recently. With this focus on delivering in the big moments, it was nice to just see him flow against a competitor looking to level up by working with him.
This was easily the weakest match of the night, a rare statement for an Ospreay match, but it also speaks to the quality of the Dynamite card this week.
Ospreay def. Fox by pinfall.
– Ospreay and Fox traded off handstand counters to cutters and kip-ups, showing their similar athleticism.
