Report: Kenny Omega Not Scheduled To Appear Live On AEW Dynamite Or Collision Before Forbidden Door

Kenny Omega won't be appearing live in person on any of All Elite Wrestling's TV shows before Forbidden Door.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has reported that Omega won't appear live on the June 21 edition of Dynamite or the June 24 episode of Collision. Dynamite is scheduled to air from the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois, while Collision is set for Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door will take place in the same Toronto arena one day later on Sunday, June 25.

Omega is scheduled to defend his IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship against Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door in a rematch from Wrestle Kingdom 17. Reports have noted the belief over the weekend was that Omega vs. Ospreay would main event Forbidden Door.

If Omega will appear on Dynamite or Collision in pre-taped videos is unknown but separate reports noted that Omega and The Young Bucks had filmed pretapes. CM Punk is reportedly planned for Wednesday's Dynamite in Chicago, which could be part of the reason Omega won't be appearing on the show in person.
