Overview
- Bailey came out on top in a six-man ladder match at AEW Redemption in Montreal against El Clon, Jungle Jack Perry, Nick Wayne, Komander and Beast Mortos to claim the suspended contract that names the next International title challenger.
- The finish followed a series of high-risk spots, including Bailey placing Mortos on a ladder, hitting a double-knees moonsault through a table and climbing a ladder to retrieve the contract.
- Fans in the Bell Centre treated Bailey as a hometown favorite with standing ovations and chants, and the crowd fell into a stunned silence during several dramatic moments of the match.
- Bailey’s winning spot sets up a future International Championship match against either Kyle Fletcher or Bandido, with coverage noting Bailey’s prior in-ring chemistry with Fletcher and a recent controversial Fletcher press appearance at San Diego Comic‑Con as storyline context.
- AEW regularly uses ladder matches to name No. 1 contenders by hanging a contract above the ring, so Bailey’s win shifts the promotion’s midcard landscape and raises expectations for a fast-paced, athletic title bout that could deepen ongoing rivalries.
