The two fought an intense match worthy for a title bout. In the end, it was Starks that came out on top. However, he had a little help in the form of Powerhouse Hobbs, who turned on Cage by nailing him with title, allowing Starks picking up the win.

The FTW Championship was originally created by Taz in ECW. He and Sabu were the only two holders of the title before he unified it with the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. The title was brought to AEW last year after 21 years of inactivity and it has finally changed hands, leaving Cage as the longest holder of the title at 377 days.
