Further explanation of my thinking...
AEW "wants" to develop something with NJPW so they can exchange talent. They've already got some talent with verbal deals like Jericho and Omega. Perhaps giving Jericho a win over Omega makes Gedo happy so that Jericho comes in strong against Okada for their IWGP Championship bout in June, soon after Double or Nothing.
Also leaves the door open for the third match, which could take place on an AEW show or perhaps even on an NJPW show. And then there is the outside chance that Jericho is getting a run with the IWGP Championship, in that case it would be a great idea to have Omega lose to Jericho at Double or Nothing when neither of them have a championship, but AEW has announced the winner of Jericho/Omega at Double or Nothing will be #1 contender against he winner of the Battle Royal. And I think it would make the AEW championship match mean a hell of a lot more if the IWGP Champion was apart of it, and even won it to become a dual champion. And that would be so Jericho wouldn't it?
