This match was originally scheduled to take place in 2021 with Omega defending his Mega title at the time against del Vikingo but this was dropped due to Omega being out of action from several injuries and his Mega title being vacated as a result.

Omega and del Vikingo recently competed against each other in a non-title match at AEW’s Dynamite show on March 22rd in Independence, Missouri.
