There had been speculation earlier in the week regarding whether Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks would be appearing on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite following CM punk’s return on Collision last Saturday as the show takes place in Chicago.
Some of the matches set for the show include Kris Statlander vs. Taya Valkyrie for the TBS Championship, The Hardys vs. The Gunns, Zack Sabre Jr. & Daniel Garcia vs. Orange Cassidy & Katsuyori Shibata, Jeff Jarrett vs. Mark Briscoe in a Concession Stand Brawl, and more.
As previously reported, sources close to Punk expected him to be on Dynamite despite not being advertised.
Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com reports Omega will not appear live on either this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite or this Saturday’s AEW Collision.
These will be the go-home shows for Sunday’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view, an event that will feature Omega defending his IWGP United States Title against Will Ospreay. Last week on Dynamite, Ospreay laid out Omega to end the show.
It’s unclear whether Omega will appear in a video package as well as what is the status of Omega’s Elite teammates, The Young Bucks, and Hangman Page for the shows.
The Elite defeated the Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta & Claudio Castagnoli) in the headliner of last Wednesday’s Dynamite.
