On the February 18, 2026 edition of AEW Dynamite, Swerve Strickland shocked fans by turning heel, launching a brutal assault on Kenny Omega during the main event. After defeating Omega in their first-ever singles match, Strickland delivered a powerful Vertebreaker through the announce desk, ending the show with a dramatic and violent moment.
Uncertainty Surrounding Omega’s Presence at AEW Revolution
Despite the intense build-up, Kenny Omega’s participation in the upcoming AEW Revolution pay-per-view is now in question. According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, Omega is contractually tied to appear at the Capcom Cup event held at Sumo Hall in Tokyo from March 11 to 15. This overseas commitment complicates his availability for the March Revolution event.
Ongoing Negotiations Over Schedule Conflicts
Meltzer provided insight into Omega’s current situation:
He is trying to make a deal where he can leave on 3/14 and be on the PPV, but as of right now he still has the commitment. He said there is a possibility he can make the date but at this point he didn’t want to be in a position where he had to be on the show or where he would be teased or advertised in case he cant make it.

At present, no confirmation exists whether Omega will manage to adjust his Capcom Cup obligations. AEW appears hesitant to promote him for Revolution until his participation is definitively confirmed.
Potential Impact on AEW Revolution Storylines and Viewership
The uncertainty surrounding Kenny Omega’s availability casts a shadow over AEW Revolution, as Omega remains a vital figure in the company’s storylines and fan interest. How AEW navigates this scheduling clash will likely influence the event’s card and audience expectations, leaving fans anxious as the date approaches.
