Kenny Omega vs. Swerve Strickland rematch with stipulations set for next AEW Dynamite
The second-ever clash between Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland will take place on next week’s AEW Dynamite but with a pair of stipulations.
After Strickland defeated Omega last month and then took him out of action, Omega made a surprise return at this past Sunday’s Revolution after Strickland’s victory over Brody King as Strickland was about to drop King on cinder blocks.
On Wednesday’s Dynamite, Omega called out Strickland for a rematch where Strickland’s number one contender status would be the line. (It was revealed later that Strickland earned the shot with his win over King, something Strickland said he later wasn’t aware of.)
Strickland then did an in-ring promo where he said he wanted Omega’s power and suggested he put up his executive vice president position which would go to Strickland if he wins. The match was later confirmed with Strickland’s title shot also on the line.
Both are former AEW World Champions.
