According to the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, a highly anticipated tag team match scheduled for AEW WrestleDream 2025 was canceled due to injuries and scheduling conflicts. The match was set to feature the long-awaited reunion of the Golden Lovers, with Kenny Omega teaming up with Kota Ibushi to face Mark Davis and Josh Alexander from the Don Callis Family.
Dave Meltzer reported that the match was dropped from the final card after Ibushi sustained an injury prior to the event. Meltzer had previously mentioned the possibility of Hechicero partnering with Alexander, but he later corrected this misinformation, clarifying that Hechicero was never part of the plan. Hechicero had competed in back-to-back matches in the UK for CMLL and Rev Pro’s Fantastica Mania UK event in Wolverhampton, England.
Though the match was removed from the initial lineup, Omega, Davis, and Alexander still made appearances at WrestleDream 2025. The Don Callis Family attacked Jurassic Express (Luchasaurus and “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry) after their victory over The Young Bucks in the $500,000 match. Omega rushed to the ring to assist the duo while Matt and Nick Jackson chose not to intervene.
