Kenny Omega made a challenge to Joey Janela tonight and it’s now official for AEW Dynamite next week.
Omega said that fans online have complained that he beat a late replacement in Sonny Kiss rather than Janela during the world eliminator tournament that Omega won to earn a title shot. As such, he’s willing to face Janela and if the “Bad Boy” upsets the champ then he’ll get a title shot. Furthermore, it will be a hardcore match and he invited Kiss to be ringside as well.
Here’s the challenge made by Kenny Omega:
