Omega is yet to wrestle in 2022, having taken time off to undergo multiple surgeries and deal with myriad health issues in November 2021. There is currently no timetable for the wounded AEW star's televised comeback.

Reigns, meanwhile, is operating on a diminished schedule after agreeing on a WWE contract demanding fewer dates of him. The Undisputed Universal Champion is currently closing in on two years as WWE's top guy since returning in August 2020.
