4 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage (June 23)

2. Where Is Kenny Omega?

Kenny Omega will wrestle Will Ospreay on Sunday's Forbidden Door pay-per-view, and his IWGP United States Title will be on the line. Previously, AEW had Ospreay ambush Omega on Dynamite, but there's been little build or story-based hype for the match since then.

In fact, Will has worked several multi-mans on Rampage without even having to look over his shoulder. That's a bit of a missed opportunity, because it tells fans loud and clear that Kenny is either too good to appear on Rampage, or that he just doesn't pay much attention to the show at all.

Either way, that sucks.

Look, Omega vs. Ospreay will be dazzling in-ring and everybody knows it. Sadly, the build towards Forbidden Door's showdown hasn't done the match on paper any favours. It's like, 'Here's a big match! OK, satisfied? We don't need to lift another finger before it happens!'.
