El Hijo Del Vikingo

El Hijo Del Vikingo plans to take innovation to a new level when he faces Kenny Omega on AEW Dynamite.

It has been announced that AAA star El Hijo Del Vikingo will take on ‘The Best Bout Machine’ Kenny Omega on the 22nd March 2023 edition of AEW Dynamite. The much-anticipated contest was originally scheduled to take place in 2021, but had to be cancelled when Omega was forced to take an extended period away from the ring in order to recuperate from a number of nagging injuries.

With the match now set to take place, the current AAA Mega Champion is excited at the prospect of facing Omega, and has vowed to use moves which have never been seen before.

In a discussion with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, El Hijo Del Vikingo noted he can’t wait to finally have the match.

I’m excited to be on television on Dynamite and show my skills to the world. I’ve wanted this fight for so long. It is an honor to come to AEW and wrestle Kenny.

Continuing on, Vikingo also commented on the unique moveset he plans to display in the contest.

I have a lot of special moves that I want the world to see. Some I’ve already mastered, and I want to show those off, and I want to show off some moves that people have never seen before.

  • FTR Championship No-DQ Match: Hook vs. Stokely Hathaway
  • Kenny Omega vs. El Hijo Del Vikingo
  • Jon Moxley vs. Stu Grayson
