Kenny Omega return update
Added 2024-12-19 20:36:47 +0000 UTCKenny Omega is set to return soon, at long last.
Omega has been sidelined for all of 2024 with diverticulitis. He returned to NJPW, with a match planned against Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5. Fightful was told this was done with Tony Khan's blessing, and AEW viewed it as a good gesture towards the relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
While there was some internal discussion about Kenny Omega returning at Full Gear, Fightful Select has been told that was never a firm plan. However, we'd noted that Omega was likely to appear in All Elite Wrestling before headed back over to Japan. On December 18, a vignette aired promoting his upcoming return. Those within the company and near Omega have claimed that it's been discussed as happening by the December 28 World's End PPV. However, we've not learned in what capacity.
Comments
Moxley is getting ready to beat down Hangman at the end of the PPV. Omega comes out through the crowd and rolls in the ring behind him. Its a bookend to the exact way Moxley debuted at the 1st Double or Nothing and a great way to "wrap" the 5 years before they start simulcasting on MAX, signifying a new era for AEW.

2024-12-20 20:15:26 +0000 UTCI think Omega is coming straight to Okada. Gotta do that feud and payoff sooner than later. Health is always a question mark now, Okada and Bucks took out Omega earlier this year, not to mention their NJPW storied history. AEW Revolution in LA.

2024-12-20 16:23:03 +0000 UTCThat could be very cool, sort of like Sting and Luger. Hangman is the deranged heel, Kenny is grateful to be back and loves the fans for their support.
