Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer revealed that the original plan for the AEW World Championship at All Out was to have Hangman Page challenging Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship but plans had to be changed with his wife about to give birth:
The Cleaner has been AEW World Champion since December 2020, swatting aside all challengers since. However, Christian beat Omega for the IMPACT World Championship on the debut episode of AEW Rampage this past Friday.
Why Christian may have been chosen to face Kenny Omega at AEW All Out
Dave Meltzer also discussed why Christian was the one chosen to face Kenny Omega at AEW All Out in place of Hangman Page. Meltzer said that Christian beating Omega was for the IMPACT World Championship was done to make him look as a credible threat to Omega at the PPV.
Dave Meltzer also added that IMPACT executives Scott D’Amore and Tommy Dreamer may have had some say in the matter since the IMPACT World Championship changed hands as part of the setup:
Christian beat Kenny Omega on AEW Rampage after The Young Bucks slipped a steel chair into the ring. The plan backfired and Christian hit a Killswitch onto the chair before pinning Omega.
