Kenny Omega will make his AEW Dynamite return next Wednesday.

AEW President Tony Khan announced Omega vs. Wheeler Yuta for next week’s Dynamite on Twitter tonight. This will be Omega’s first appearance since losing the IWGP United States Heavyweight Title to Will Ospreay last Sunday at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II.

The Blackpool Combat Club (Yuta, ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley) defeated The Elite (Omega, Adam Page, The Young Bucks) in the Anarchy In the Arena main event of the AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view in late May. Don Callis and Konosuke Takeshita assisted Yuta.

Omega wrote in response to Khan’s announcement, “Payback time.”
