More Backstage Chatter On Andrade vs. Kenny Omega AAA Match (Patreon)
Content
Fightful Wrestling has confirmed Wrestling Observer's report in regards to Andrade El Idolo being originally scheduled to win the AAA Mega Championship at TripleMania.
Meltzer reported that AEW has control over Kenny Omega's finishes, which we've also heard. Chatter backstage at AAA TripleMania indicated that Andrade had been aware that he was slated to win the title at one point, but that was changed along the way at the request of AEW. Several within AAA were speculating that the change may have been due to the quickly evolving nature of AEW with Christian winning the IMPACT Title, Page being out of action, and the influx of new talent, but that wasn't confirmed to us. Several wrestlers backstage had heard that AAA was informed of this as far back as early July, possibly sooner.
There were still names being discussed for Kenny Omega's next opponent within the company, with El Hijo Vikingo mentioned to us as a possibility down the line. Interestingly enough, one source indicated they didn't believe it would be Psycho Clown, and did not believe that an immediate Andrade rematch was in the cards.
We're working to confirm these rumors with officials of either company
