Vikingo and Omega were set to clash at AAA Triplemania Regia in December 2021, but the bout never came to fruition as Omega was sidelined with a multitude of injuries. Omega vacated the AAA Mega Championship and Vikingo won it in a five-way bout against Bandido, Bobby Fish, Jay Lethal and Samuray del Sol.
Omega and Vikingo finally met on the March 22 episode of AEW Dynamite with Omega picking up the victory in a non-title bout.
