Despite saying he didn’t want to be an on-screen character on All Elite Wrestling (while appearing weekly on IMPACT Wrestling via “paid advertisements”), Tony Khan appeared on AEW Dark: Elevation and cut a promo on All Elite Wrestling Champion Kenny Omega.
“That’s absolute crap,” said Khan. “I never wanted to be in this position. I never wanted to be here. You already went back on a gentleman’s agreement once, you made a progress to him. You said you were going to give him a match. That was B.S. He went through two matches and you can’t even promise people matches. I make the matches. I’m gonna tell you right now. Nine days from tonight, you have time to get ready, Matt, you have to wrestle live on Dynamite. If [Sydal] wins you get a shot at the title. You forced me to do this.”
As a result, Omega will face Sydal on the March 24 edition of AEW Dynamite. If Sydal wins, he’ll get a future title shot.
