==A.W.A.C. Career==
On the Fury pre-show for A.W.A.C. Smashlash on March 27, 2018, Ori Kahn defeated the also-debuting Rick Grimes. After completing almost exclusively on untelevised house shows and dark matches, Ori was finally given a chance to show what he can do as he entered the Battle City Tournament. In Round 1, he defeated Riku, and in Round 1 on Anarchy #41, he defeated Mr. Amazing. On August 4, 2018 at Summer Slamboree, Ori defeated Metallo in the Quarter-Finals but came up short against Johnny Gat in the Semi-Finals. On August 15, 2018 at the A.W.A.C. Draft Special, Ori came up short again in an 8-Man Battle Royal to determine the two challengers for the newly-created A.W.A.C. United States Heavyweight Championship. During the event, Anarchy General Manager Rabid drafted Ori to the Anarchy brand. Before the brands could be finalized, however, Ori Kahn represented his home country of Israel in the Intercommonwealth Cup Tournament. He did admirably, placing third overall with 11 points behind Saudi Arabia's Yazeed in second place with 14 points and South Africa's Zack Bateley with 18 points. This ended Ori's run in Season 1.
Season 2 kicked off with Anarchy #46 where Ori Kahn was last eliminated by King in a Battle Royal to determine the #1 contender for Daas Wheedon's A.W.A.C. Championship at Deadly Sin. On Anarchy #47, Daas defeated Ori in a Non-Title Match. After the match, Daas was gonna attack Ori Kahn, but then King ran out and chased him off. On July 17, Ori Kahn defeated Zack Bateley in the main event of the A.W.A.C. block for VWU Prestige 2: Fight Forever. On Anarchy #48, Freddy Krueger defeated Ori by submission. After the match, Freddy publicly endorsed him, calling him "the future of this business". Ori Kahn and Zack Bateley would wrestle each other once again on Anarchy #50 on November 29. The winner would become the #1 contender for Holly Rood's Wildside and Intercommowealth Championships at Envy. However, the match was declared a No Contest where Rood ran in and attacked both men. As punishment, Anarchy General Manager Rabid made Rood defend both titles in a Two-Fall Triple Threat Match at Envy against both men. On December 17 at Envy, Ori won the Intercommonwealth Title in the first fall, but Holly Rood retained his Wildside Title in the second fall. On Anarchy #51, Ori Kahn lost his title to Zack Bateley.
On March 22, 2020 at A.W.A.C.'s CANCELLED.... MY ASS! special event, Ori Kahn defeated Biff Andreas. After the match, the two shook hands. On April 7, during the Liberty-exclusive CPV No Guts, No Mercy, SCAW's Spider-Man challenged Ori Kahn to a match at the special crossover event between SCAW and A.W.A.C. called Challenge Of The Immortals. A few days later, Ori accepted and the match was made official. On August 18 at the event, Spider-Man defeated him. After the match, Spider-Man publicly endorsed Ori Kahn, stating that "he has earned his respect".
On September 17 at Above And Beyond, Ori Kahn entered the Men's Match Beyond at #22, where he shockingly eliminated the #3 entrant "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt. Ori was then eliminated by #27 entrant Groot, which prompted boos from the crowd as Ori was considered one of the favorites to win. On December 31, 2020, on Anarchy #60, Ori congratulated King on winning the Men's Match Beyond. Ori also challenged King in the main event as a test of his own skills. Ori was unsuccessful. On Anarchy #62, it was revealed that after King's dark match before the show, he told King that he was granted the opportunity to fight Daas Wheedon for the A.W.A.C. Championship on A.W.A.C.'s tour of Japan. King reprimanded Ori, not wanting him to end up with his career shortened at the hands of Daas, but Ori pleaded with him to be in his corner in case that happened; despite his better judgement, King reluctantly agreed. On Anarchy #63 in Tokyo, Japan, King threw in the towel after Ori was beat up in the corner to a bloody pulp by Daas. As a result, Daas retained his title via corner stoppage. It was later revealed after the match that Ori suffered a concussion and nasty cut on his forehead that caused him to bleed hardway. As a result, Ori will be out of action indefinitely, missing out Anarchy Rulz 3 which was to be held in his hometown of Chicago.

On November 14, TJ Nicholson defeated Ori Kahn in a Dark Match before Anarchy #66 went live. Later in the show, as Ori was about to leave the building, TBO walked up to him and offered him a spot in the War Horsemen. Ori didn't give an answer as TBO left after telling him to think it over.
=== Heel Turn (2021 - Present Day) ===
On November 28, 2021, on Anarchy #68, after Colt Draven retained his Intercommonwealth Title against Zack Bateley, Colt attacked Zack but Ori Kahn ran out to make the save. Suddenly, Colt slid Ori a steel chair and Ori further attacked Zack before celebrating, thus turning heel for the first time in his A.W.A.C. career. During the commercial break, EMTs stretchered out Zack but Colt pushed the stretcher over and beat him down once again. On the ramp, both Colt Draven and Ori Kahn announced that they had officially joined the War Horsemen.
