In other news related to NJPW, TJR Wrestling reported on November 20, 2022 that Kenny Omega challenged Will Ospreay for a match at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17, this just hours after All Elite Wrestling’s Full Gear pay-per-view event.

“Just a few hours after All Elite Wrestling’s pay-per-view, the semi-main event of NJPW x STARDOM Historic X-Over saw Shota Umino take on Will Ospreay for his IWGP United States Championship. The match ended up being a tough back-and-forth for both competitors, but Ospreay held on to retain his belt.

As Ospreay was celebrating his championship victory, the arena lights went out and Kenny Omega popped up on the video screen, which officially marked his first sighting in NJPW since leaving the company for AEW nearly four years ago.

With Omega sitting on a throne, he made the claim that Will Ospreay is his “replacement” and that he is the result of small crowds in the promotion that are worse than the COVID-19 pandemic. Omega then went on to say that he was going to save NJPW, and challenged Ospreay at Wrestle Kingdom 17 — Ospreay accepted.”
