Swerve Strickland and Kenny Omega finally went one on one for the first time ever in the main event of AEW Dynamite, and it was Strickland who walked away victorious. The win may have also marked a shift in attitude for Strickland, as his actions after the bell suggested a darker edge.

Following the match, Strickland refused to let up. He wrapped a chain around Omega and hung him before escalating the assault even further. The brutal scene concluded with Strickland driving Omega through the announcers table with a vertebreaker, leaving the former AEW World Champion laid out and seemingly written off television.

According to Fightful Select, Omega is not scheduled to wrestle at AEW Revolution on March 15. While the report noted that an on screen appearance has not been ruled out, he is not expected to compete in a match. The outlet added that this was a key reason for booking the Strickland bout on Wednesday’s Dynamite.

Two weeks ago, Dave Meltzer reported that Omega was expected to be in Japan during Revolution week for Capcom Cup 12. At the time, there was uncertainty surrounding whether he would be available to work the pay per view on Sunday, but it now appears that will not be the case.

AEW Revolution is set for Sunday, March 15 in Los Angeles, California, with several major title matches already confirmed.

Current AEW Revolution Card
