Kenny Omega won the AEW World Championship from MJF on July 8 during the Beach Break edition of AEW Dynamite. The match was originally scheduled for the upcoming AEW Redemption pay-per-view on July 26 in Montreal. Industry insider Dave Meltzer reports that MJF pushed to move the title defense to television rather than remain on the pay-per-view card, a decision approved by AEW President Tony Khan. This shift could indicate that Khan has other significant plans for the Redemption event, which currently has only one match officially booked.
