Kenny Omega secured the AEW World Championship on July 9, 2026, after a grueling match against reigning champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) at The BayCare Sound in Clearwater, Florida. Omega entered the match aware it might be his last opportunity to challenge for the title, agreeing to a stipulation similar to one that "Hangman" Adam Page accepted earlier this year but ultimately lost.

The intense contest spilled into the stands, showcasing the fierce rivalry between two of pro wrestling's top stars. During the match, MJF declared, "I’m moonwalking to Wembley Stadium whether you like it or not," signaling his ambitions beyond the current bout.

Omega's victory adds a significant chapter to his career, which includes appearances at major events like Wrestle Kingdom 13 in Tokyo. The match further solidified the prominence of AEW World Championship contests within the professional wrestling landscape.
