Kenny Omega’s long-awaited return is just around the corner.
After being sidelined throughout 2024 due to diverticulitis, Omega is gearing up for a comeback. He is set to face Gabe Kidd at NJPW’s Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, a match sanctioned with Tony Khan’s approval.
AEW reportedly viewed this as a positive step in strengthening its relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
While there was some internal discussion about Omega returning at AEW Full Gear, this was never a concrete plan. However, it was noted that Omega would likely appear in AEW before heading back to Japan.
A vignette promoting his return aired on December 18, with sources close to Omega and within AEW suggesting his return could happen by the World’s End pay-per-view on December 28.
Details about his role in the event remain unclear.
