Kenny Omega regained AEW’s top men’s title on July 8 in Clearwater, Florida, closing a Beach Break episode that also produced a women’s gauntlet winner and a second championship change.

AEW’s July 1 Dynamite results said Omega accepted MJF’s demand that a loss at Beach Break would end his ability to challenge for the AEW World Title again. That made the July 8 match an all-or-nothing title shot for Omega one week after the stipulation was set. AEW’s Beach Break results said MJF used a low blow and struck Omega with the AEW World Title during the match. (allelitewrestling.com) The same report said MJF also tried to use the Dynamite Diamond Ring, but Will Ospreay took it away from him before Omega hit three V-Triggers and finished the match with the One-Winged Angel. ### What does the win change in AEW’s title picture? (allelitewrestling.com) AEW’s World Championship history page lists July 8, 2026, as the start of Omega’s second reign. The company’s record says Omega beat MJF at Dynamite: Beach Break in Clearwater to take the title. MJF’s place in that lineage is also reflected on the same history page. AEW lists him as a two-time champion whose most recent reign began on December 27, 2025, when he won a four-way match at Worlds End in Chicago.
