An NJPW star has attacked Kenny Omega after he confirmed he wanted to represent AEW in the ring at Wrestle Dynasty.

Kenny Omega hasn’t wrestled since being diagnosed with diverticulitis in early December 2023, with his last match coming on December 5th. The former AEW World Champion had hoped to avoid surgery, but he eventually went under the knife in May after making two appearances on Dynamite.

Back in September, it was noted that Omega was training and preparing to wrestle again, although he remained somewhat limited in what he could do. But now Omega has indicated when he will be making his return to the ring and it will be in a venue very familiar to him.

Kenny Omega Teases Tokyo Dome Return

At New Japan Pro Wrestling Power Struggle, Kenny Omega returned to the company where he made his name to express his desire to represent AEW against a young member of the NJPW roster at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5th 2025 in the Tokyo Dome although nothing was set in stone.

However, one member of the NJPW roster that fits the bill was clearly listening as later in the show it was noted Omega had been involved in a backstage altercation with Gabe Kidd which could well be setting up a match between the two stars.
