Kenny Omega Return Video Airs on AEW Dynamite – After months of absence from the ring, Kenny Omega’s return is finally on the horizon. During AEW Dynamite’s Holiday Bash episode, a brief video aired showcasing Omega’s career highlights, signaling his eventual comeback to AEW programming. However, the clip left fans guessing about an exact return date.
Omega’s next confirmed match is set for January 5, 2025, at Wrestle Dynasty in Tokyo, Japan. The event, hosted at the iconic Tokyo Dome, will feature talent from NJPW, AEW, Stardom, ROH, and CMLL in a Forbidden Door-style showcase. Omega is slated to face Gabe Kidd in what will be his first in-ring action since defeating Ethan Page on December 5, 2023.
Omega has been sidelined for several months due to multiple injuries and health concerns, including surgery for diverticulitis in May. While he has made sporadic appearances on AEW television, including a segment in May where he was attacked by The Elite’s new lineup—featuring the Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, and Jack Perry—he has not wrestled since.
The Young Bucks are also booked for Wrestle Dynasty, where they will compete for the vacant IWGP Tag Team Championships against Great-O-Khan and a mystery partner.
Omega’s looming return is generating significant buzz, not only for his Wrestle Dynasty appearance but also for his eventual reintegration into AEW storylines. With a legacy as one of AEW’s foundational stars and the first-ever AEW World Champion, fans eagerly await his next move, both in Japan and on AEW programming.
