A current AEW champion has issued a powerful challenge to Kenny Omega, declaring that the promotion no longer needs Omega and promising to end his career once and for all. This bold statement comes as Omega prepares to make his long-awaited return to AEW next week, coinciding with the sixth anniversary of Dynamite.
On the September 3 episode of Dynamite, Kenny Omega was forced out of the arena on a stretcher after being driven through a table by the TNT Champion, Kyle Fletcher. Despite this brutal attack, Omega is scheduled to appear on next week’s Dynamite, where he will team with AEW Tag Team Champion Brody King against Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks. Meanwhile, Fletcher recently expressed his intentions to keep Omega sidelined for good as he defends the TNT Championship against Orange Cassidy.
The TNT Champion Issues a Bold Warning to Omega
During an interview on WMUL Radio, Kyle Fletcher was asked about his dream opponent for the TNT title. Fletcher, known as The Protostar, spoke directly about Omega, who he had just severely targeted in the ring.
“I think that is a man, who I recently dropped on his head through a table, who is someone I’ve already mentioned as one of my inspirations, that I would like to think is going to come back looking for me when he is healthy again. So Kenny Omega, I am waiting for you, and you can do your best to take this championship from me, but it will not happen. I will put you on the shelf for good because AEW doesn’t need you anymore, it needs the Protostar.”

Fletcher’s remarks underline the intensity of his rivalry with Omega and his confidence as the TNT Champion, suggesting he sees himself as the future face of AEW over the returning star.

During this special episode, Omega will join forces with Brody King for a six-man tag team match against the faction led by Don Callis, including Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks. This reunion with King was announced recently on AEW Collision, setting high expectations for the storyline’s continuation.
Omega showed his excitement about the return and the milestone event by sharing moments from his recent appearance at the Tokyo Game Show, where he was warmly received by fans and partners alike.

The upcoming match and anniversary event could mark a significant moment for Omega as he seeks to reclaim his position following his injury and absence from the AEW ring.
Context of the Rivalry and Potential Impact
The rivalry between Kyle Fletcher and Kenny Omega symbolizes a clash between a rising star and an established legend in AEW. Fletcher’s declaration that AEW “doesn’t need” Omega reflects a shift in the company’s narrative focus, highlighting new talents ready to take the spotlight. Meanwhile, Omega’s return signals that the promotion is relying on its top names to maintain viewership and excitement.
Omega’s participation in a high-profile match alongside Brody King against prominent opponents such as Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks is likely to generate considerable fan interest and could influence future championship scenes. Fletcher’s defense of the TNT title against Orange Cassidy further adds to the competitive atmosphere within AEW.
As AEW continues to grow, this feud underscores the balance between honoring veteran wrestlers and elevating emerging talents, setting the stage for intense competition and storylines in the weeks ahead.
