It seems as though Kenny Omega is set for another spell away from AEW TV.

The 42-year-old, who remains one of the top performers in the world today, was written off TV on Dynamite this week after a brutal attack from Swerve Strickland following their match.

Omega did not wrestle in 2024, he only wrestled 15 times last year and has four matches to his name in 2026.

His run as the belt collector early into AEW’s run was one of their most memorable periods, but injuries and, particuarly, diverticulitis have detrailed the last few years of his career.

At least this time, Omega’s absence will be down to another commitment, not injury.

Fightful Select reports that Omega is currently not scheduled to wrestle at AEW Revolution next month in March, though an appearance or a potential change of plans weren’t ruled out.

Kenny Omega remains one of AEW’s biggest pulls

Omega informed AEW that he would have a scheduling conflict with Revolution a few months ago and these plans have been in motion for a while.

Thsi caused Tony Khan and AEW to move up the timetable for Omega’s match with Swerve, putting it last night on “Dynamite” instead of the PPV.

Dave Meltzer reported some weeks ago that Omega was scheduled to be in Japan the week of AEW Revolution, taking part in Tokyo’s Capcom Cup 12 video game event.

Also in Japan, Omega is scheduled for meet and greets March 11 through March 13.

He could technically make it for Revolution on March 15, but that doesn’t appear to be the plan right now.
