Kenny Omega became the number one contender for the AEW
World title last night on Dynamite after he defeated Swerve
Strickland on the show.
Omega, who won with his One Winged Angel finisher clean,
also retained his EVP status, which was on the line versus
Swerve’s number one contendership.
Omega later met champion MJF later in the show and
challenged him for the title at the upcoming Dynasty pay-
per-view. MJF accepted but did not want to shake Omega’s
hand.
Strickland had main evented the previous two Dynasty pay-
per-views, both title matches against Samoa Joe and Jon
Moxley respectively, but the third one in a row was not
meant to be.
Omega has not had a run with the AEW World title since 2021,
winning it in December 2020 and keeping it for 346 days
until he ultimately lost it to Adam Page in November at Full
Gear.
