Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay issue challenges for AEW Revolution
Following Saturday’s Grand Slam Australia, both Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay have their eyes set on next month’s AEW Revolution pay-per-view from Los Angeles with their rivals in the crosshairs.
Omega and Ospreay defeated Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher to open the broadcast from Brisbane and later on, both men issued challenges for the event.
Omega called out Takeshita for an International title match in an attempt to gain revenge for their 2023 All Out match where Takeshita picked up the win. The two feuded at different times throughout that year before Omega eventually succumbed to injuries and missed the entirety of 2024 in the ring.
A Revolution championship series was later announced where Takeshita will defend against the winner of an Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong match this Wednesday on the February 26th Dynamite. The winner of that match will then defend against Omega at Revolution.
Ospreay then issued a challenge to his former partner Fletcher for a steel cage match at the PPV. Fletcher cost Ospreay the International title at October 2024’s WrestleDream and then defeated him at the next month’s Full Gear. Ospreay got a slight measure of revenge in the Continental Classic tournament, downing Fletcher in the semifinals.
Here’s the current and expected card for the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, March 9th:
- AEW World Champion Jon Moxley defends against Cope
- AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita defends against Kenny Omega*
- Will Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher in a steel cage match*
