Kenny Omega is heading into AEW Dynamite on Wednesday, July 15 as the new AEW World Champion, with a celebration segment already confirmed for the broadcast.
Omega captured the title on the July 8 edition of Dynamite, defeating MJF to claim the AEW World Championship. It marks his first world title reign in AEW since 2021, ending a years-long stretch away from the top of the company’s card. The win was a significant moment for Omega, who has dealt with well-documented health struggles that kept him away from the ring for an extended period.
With the gold now around his waist, Omega won’t have long to celebrate before the next challenge arrives. He is already slated to defend the AEW World Championship against Will Ospreay in the main event of AEW All In, setting up what figures to be one of the most anticipated matches of the year between two of professional wrestling’s most technically gifted performers.
The July 15 Dynamite celebration segment will give Omega his moment in the spotlight before that rivalry heats up. Given the history between Omega and Ospreay — two men whose careers have been intertwined across multiple promotions — the segment could very well be where the road to All In takes a more defined shape.
For now, though, the focus is on Omega reclaiming his place at the pinnacle of AEW, a position many felt was long overdue.
