In December 2019, AEW was still very much in its formative stage of development. It relied on the legendary Chris Jericho to captain the ship as "Le Champion."

This victory was the culmination of Omega's return to the main event scene. For months, he was stuck in the mid-card as a tag team player. But now, Omega is back where he belongs.
