Since IMPACT Executive Vice President Don Callis helped Omega screw Jon Moxley out of the AEW World Championship at Winter is Coming, Kenny has been a regular part of IMPACT programming.

After butting heads over the past several weeks, Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers are set to take on IMPACT World Champion Rich Swann and the Motor City Machine Guns at Hard to Kill on January 16, 2021.

Before that, Omega will defend his AEW World Championship against Rey Fenix on the January 6 episode of AEW Dynamite. That Dynamite will be the first of two New Year’s Smash events that AEW is putting on, with the second of these shows to follow on January 13.

Previously, New Year’s Smash was to begin tonight. After the tragic passing of Jon Huber, this week’s Dynamite will not be a celebration of Jon’s life.
