Christian Cage vs. Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship, from AEW All Out 2021

This may have been a replacement main event due to Plan A following through, but this was pretty alright for a backup plan. I grew to appreciate the story of Kenny Omega rocking Christian Cage early with high-impact offense that was testing the limits of legality and Cage only hanging on thanks to his veteran instincts, though I don’t think it’s quite enough to justify its length. This might have been something special with as much as eight minutes cut out; as it is, going twenty minutes made the middle sag a bit. Point added for the awesome post-match segment.
