Kenny Omega Appears at NJPW Power Struggle, Brawls With Gabe Kidd – Kenny Omega made his highly anticipated return to NJPW on Monday at the Power Struggle event, marking his first appearance since December 2023. After taking time off due to a diverticulitis diagnosis and subsequent surgery, Omega’s comeback sent waves through the wrestling world. Stepping into the NJPW ring, Omega addressed his journey and hinted at his future plans.
In an emotional promo, Omega admitted he wasn’t certain if he’d ever make it back. However, he shared that a conversation with NJPW legend Hiroshi Tanahashi helped reignite his passion, suggesting the possibility of facing some of NJPW’s rising talents. Although his in-ring return isn’t set in stone, Omega proposed the date January 5, sparking speculation about a potential match at AEW Wrestle Dynasty.
After delivering his speech, Omega’s night took a confrontational turn backstage when he crossed paths with Gabe Kidd, the current NJPW Strong Openweight Champion.
