Kenny Omega AAA Mega title defense set for AEW Dynamite

The AAA Mega Championship will be on the line on AEW Dynamite this week.

AEW has announced that Kenny Omega will defend his AAA Mega title against Sammy Guevara on Dynamite this Wednesday. It will be the first time the title has been defended on Dynamite and the second time it’s been defended in AEW.

Omega became the AAA Mega Champion by defeating Fenix at Heroes Inmortales in October. He defended the title against Jack Evans on an episode of AEW Dark in November and against Dragon Lee at Triplemania Regia in December.

Omega’s third defense of the title was set to be against Laredo Kid at AAA Rey de Reyes this past weekend, but AAA announced on March 14 that the show was being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Omega and Guevara were originally scheduled to be part of the Blood and Guts match on Dynamite this week, but that match has been postponed. AEW announced that the time and circumstances aren’t right for the card they had planned for Blood and Guts and the show will instead happen when the time is right.

A confrontation between Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy has been added to this Wednesday’s Dynamite, along with Cody vs. Jimmy Havoc.
