Omega defeated Janela and post-match, he and Don Callis were confronted by Death Triangle (PAC, Penta El Zero M & Rey Fenix). PAC revealed that on December 30th, Omega will defend the AEW World Title against Fenix. Fenix was supposed to face Omega in the AEW World Title Eliminator tournament but was replaced by Penta due to injury.
