The former AEW World Tag Team Champion took it to the extremes as well! He hit Christian Cage with a Flex Capacitor (aka Spanish Fly) off the top rope but only got a near fall! Christian went for the Killswitch/Unprettier several times but never got successful.
The momentum of the match changed when Kazarian missed a springboard leg drop on Cage. ‘Captain Charisma’ quickly stunned him. This allowed him to hit a Frog Splash on Kazarian, only for a near fall! Both men laid in the ring catching their breaths as the crowd chanted, “This is awesome!”
Huge flog splash from @Christian4Peeps!

In the closing moments of the match, Christian went for a Killswitch on Kaz, but he shoved him into the ropes and attempted a crossface chicken wing! Christian Cage rolled through, Kaz came storming towards him; Cage sidestepped, sending Kaz straight into the steel ring post.
Christian Cage then sealed the deal with a Killswitch on Kazarian in the middle of the ring! Kazarian versus Christian was undoubtedly a great match, and both men, especially Christian, did a terrific job. No one would even believe Christian had ring rust!
