It appears that the Undisputed Kingdom has found their match in Adam Copeland and his friends.
AEW presented the ninth Battle of The Belts special from Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia after this week’s episode of Collision.
The show was headlined by the AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy defending his title against Preston Vance. The Undisputed Kingdom all came out for this match and sat on the ramp during the bout.
Towards the ending of the fight, Cassidy took out the faction and Vance also flipped them off. Orange Cassidy then successfully retained his title using the Orange Punch and Stundog Millionaire.
The Undisputed Kingdom finally came down the ring after the bout ended. While they didn’t attack the International Champion, the broadcast ended with Roderick Strong telling Cassidy that his time was over.
This wasn’t the end of the show however. The feed continued even after this and the team of Danial Garcia and FTR, led by Adam Copeland came out and attacked the Kingdom. This newly formed alliance took out the faction with Orange Cassidy getting the final shot at Roderick Strong before he retreated from the ring.
After BOTB IX went off the air, the feed kept going as Adam Copeland, Daniel Garcia & FTR ran down to make the save for Orange Cassidy!

Elsewhere in the show, Julia Hart successfully defended her TBS title against Anna Jay and the duo of Ricky Starks & Big Bill managed to outlast Sammy Guevara & Chris Jericho in a crazy street fight to retain their tag titles.
Though Battle of The Belts wasn’t the only place AEW stars were making headlines. An interesting name that hadn’t been seen on any wrestling programming since last year made his return during NJPW’s Battle In The Valley. You can check that out here.
