Omega returned to AEW television at last Saturday's Worlds End to have a staredown with Continental Classic winner and Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada.

Also on the show, TBS Champion and New Japan Strong Women's Titlist Mercedes Mone puts her latter belt on the line against Rev Pro's British Women's Title Holder Mina Shirakawa in a champion vs. champions match.

Other matches include Willow Nightingale (AEW) vs. Persephone (CMLL) vs. Athena (ROH) vs. Momo Watanabe (Stardom) in the finals for the International Women’s Cup with the winner getting a title shot in any of the companies that are represented in the match, and The Young Bucks returning to Japan to meet The Great O'Khan & Jeff Cobb and Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi for the vacant IWGP Tag Team Titles.

On paper, the matches should range from good to excellent.
