AAA made the announcement on Monday and did not reveal who would step in to wrestle El Hijo del Vikingo for the vacant title at TripleMania Regia II on December 4.

It was reported last week that Omega was set for time away from the ring due to surgery to repair injuries. Omega recently lost the AEW World Championship to Adam Page at Full Gear.
