Kenny Omega’s return match set for next AEW Dynamite
Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega will look to take a step toward a future World title shot on next week’s Dynamite.
Omega will take on Josh Alexander after a verbal confrontation with the Don Callis Family during Wednesday’s show. While they have been on opposite ends of several tag team matches, this will be the first-ever singles match between the Canadians.
On Wednesday, Omega appeared in the ring after Hangman Page’s win over Bryan Keith. Swerve Strickland also joined the fray as all three men are vying for a World title match, followed by Callis and some of his crew interrupted to set up the Alexander match.
Omega hasn’t wrestled since the December 17 Holiday Bash Dynamite in Manchester, England, when he teamed with the Young Bucks against Hechicero, Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita. It will also be his first singles match since last July’s All In when he lost to Okada.
Alexander is coming off a Continental title eliminator loss to Jon Moxley on the New Year’s Smash Dynamite. He teams with El Clon and Kyle Fletcher this Saturday against Skyflight.
It’s the only match announced thus far for the show.
