Last Wednesday on “AEW Dynamite,” after MJF dealt with about 12 other narrative threads he’s currently trying to navigate, he was met face-to-face by Omega. “The Cleaner” threw down the gauntlet for the reigning AEW Champion, challenging him to a title match before the day MJF surpassed his standing record as the longest-ever AEW World Champion. MJF was days away from breaking the mark, and Omega wanted a chance to stop it from happening. Pretty basic stuff, but it’s workable, except for one question: Does Khan not understand how monumental a match between Omega and MJF for the world title actually is? We’re talking about easily one of the biggest stars AEW currently has crossing paths with one of the company’s original central building blocks, and you think it’s in your best interest to schedule that match on three days’ notice? 

Kenny Omega vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship is an instant main event for any PPV that AEW has to offer, without question. And with AEW still operating on the archaic PPV model to drive revenue, it’s the type of needle-moving “dream match” you’d think Khan would weaponize to get fans to part with their 50 bucks en masse, once again building momentum. That is, until it just gets thrown together for “Collision.”
