Kenny Omega is set to challenge MJF for the Men’s AEW World Championship at Dynasty after defeating Swerve Strickland to become the Number One contender. Dynasty will be on April 12 in Vancouver, Canada. This past Wednesday, Omega returned to his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba to compete in a trios match on “Dynamite”. 

Ahead of his match, Omega sat down with CBC News Manitoba. Omega has a well documented history since being diagnosed with diverticulitis and having to undergo surgery. He has discussed that it was nearly fatal. His health has been used in feuds, including during a promo by MJF on this week’s “Dynamite”. He noted that he hadn’t been healthy before and was “it was a scary situation for me because I wasn’t sure I was ever going to be in a position to ever do anything physical in the world of professional wrestling.” Being on “Dynamite” was “like a celebration” because not only is he healthy, but he can wrestle.

“It was really important for me this time to be able to get in the ring – whether it’s a title match, big match, small match – I just wanted to be able to perform. So to be able to perform and be confident in my health is a big win for me.” He had a lot of family coming in with some coming from Calgary. He’s always happy when they can come together “as one big cheering force.”

Omega was on “Dynamite” three times. He had a contract signing for his match with MJF. He wrestled in a match following that segment and joined commentary for the main event when MJF wrestled Speedball Mike Bailey in a Title Eliminator Match.

Let me talk to ya: If IShowSpeed didn’t believe that Danhausen’s curse was real, well, he better believe-hausen now, as the widely popular YouTube sensation got an up close and personal receipt from WWE’s own, LA Knight.

In the middle of his livestream earlier this week, the former two-time Men’s United States Champion casually broke in and entered Speed’s house to revisit what led to this paid visit. Speechless to see Knight in his house, Speed was quick to apologize for what happened this past Monday on “WWE Raw,” and wants nothing to do with this situation anymore. Knight agreed that what happened on Monday was unnecessary, but Speed isn’t out of the doghouse yet. This led to the decision/announcement that Speed will return to WWE to make things right with The Usos (Jimmy and Jey) and Knight himself this Monday. Without missing a beat, Knight wasn’t done there, as the megastar hoisted the YouTuber up, and launched him into his camera and streaming equipment. You can hear Speed crying in distress as the feed comes to an abrupt end.

This past “Raw,” Speed accidentally clocked Knight with a pair of brass knuckles. Knight came out to ringside to help the Usos maintain order and retain their World Tag Team Championships. Well, it didn’t work, as The Vision’s Logan Paul and Austin Theory picked up the golden victory, all thanks to the kerfuffle outside the ring. Prior to this entanglement, Speed was cursed by Danhausen on the March 23 episode of “Raw,” after he refused to give the “Very Nice, Very Evil” star the password to his YouTube channel.

On the latest episode of “Raw”, GUNTHER made a surprise return…to attack Seth Rollins. Rollins has been in a feud with The Vision and Paul Heyman since he returned at Elimination Chamber. Moments before being attacked by GUNTHER, Rollins had attacked Heyman with a chair and connected with a Curb Stomp. Later in the episode, Adam Pearce announced Rollins was not only cleared, but would be facing GUNTHER at WrestleMania 42.

On Wednesday, Dave Meltzer reported that Rollins vs. GUNTHER had been the plan “for weeks” because Bronson Reed’s injury opened the door because “one of The Vision guys was going to face Seth.” However a report from WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select says that the match was finalized the week before the March 30 episode of “Raw”. They further reported that the match was not a unanimous creative decision. Some wanted to wrap up the story with Rollins and The Vision, but others wanted GUNTHER on the card. According to the report, Heyman will not be in GUNTHER’s corner for the match.

Bron Breakker was at the Performance Center last week in an attempt to be cleared. Meltzer stated on the same episode of Wrestling Observer Live that Breakker has been cleared. WWE feels the story with Breakker and Rollins could be a big program and didn’t want to rush it. Meltzer is unsure when they’ll have a match.

There won’t be any shots or silly string for the foreseeable future, as Isiah Kassidy is all alone in his VIP lounge without his Private Party mate, Marq Quen. On this week’s “AEW Collision,” Kassidy revealed that after last weekend’s loss to The Death Riders’ Daniel Garcia and AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley, his partner is once again injured.

“Everybody keeps saying this one word: ‘change.’ Change this, change that…Well, congratulations, you guys finally got it. It’s time for us to change,” the former AEW World Tag Team Champion said on Thursday’s show. “Mox, you know what you did… Fast forward to last weekend, I’m forced to change again, because you took out my boy. And now, he’s out. And I don’t know when he’s coming back. So now, I’m all alone. Like you said, swim with the sharks, right?… But you forgot something: I’ve been drowning my whole life. I learned how to breathe down here…I’ll put it like this: I ain’t come this far, to come this far. Best believe I’m gonna eat, because I’m starving for opportunity.”

Standing alone and no stranger to struggle, @ZayKassidy sends a message to #AEW Continental Champion @JonMoxley!

This isn’t the first time the former tag team champion has been on the shelf in his AEW career. In 2022, after wrestling on the December 2 episode of “AEW Rampage,” Quen was sidelined for over a year with a torn pectoral muscle that required reconstruction surgery. He returned in January of 2024 on “AEW Dynamite,” where he and Kassidy defeated Top Flight’s Dante and Darius Martin. He remained active up until last Saturday’s match. As of this writing, it’s unknown what Quen’s injury is, or how long he’ll be out of action.
