The decision to move MJF’s AEW World Championship defense against Kenny Omega from Redemption to next week’s Dynamite was made very recently and without a clear public explanation, according to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio.
All I know is they decided to move the MJF Kenny Omega matchup. I don’t know why. This was apparently something that was decided very recently, clearly because it’s a Canadian show called Redemption, and that was gonna be the match. And then somebody decided, we’re gonna do it next week.
Redemption is a Canadian pay-per-view event, making MJF vs. Omega — a match with Canadian connections given Omega’s roots — a natural fit for the card. The late decision to pull the match and air it on free television instead has not been explained publicly by AEW.
