Kenny Omega got revenge on Swerve Strickland, beating him on AEW Dynamite to earn the #1 contendership to the AEW World Championship. Wednesday night’s show opened with Omega putting his EVP status on the line against Strickland’s #1 contendership. The two battled with limited commercial interruption in a bout that saw Omega battle back from some big hits to ultimately put his rival away.

Swerve nearly had Omega when he hit a piledriver directly onto the guardrail. However, Omega kept kicking out and even a low blow couldn’t help finish the job. Omega kicked out of a Vertebreaker and, after several attempts that Strickland countered, finally hit the One Winged Angel for the victory in 20 minutes and 33 seconds. You can see highlights from the match below.

Omega’s win gives him revenge over Strickland, who temporarily put him out of action by attacking him after their match on AEW Dynamite last week. Omega
