Kenny Omega is heading back to All Elite Wrestling, and sooner than later.
Last month, Fightful Select interviewed Kenny Omega, and shortly after reported that he would be headed back to AEW soon. In addition, we were told that Omega was planned for an AEW return before he left for Japan for his Wrestle Dynasty show against Gabe Kidd.
We’re told that Omega is supposed to leave for Japan either January 1 or 2, and will be around for Wrestle Kingdom, even though he’s not publicly booked for the show. However, his AEW return has been teased on TV. Fightful Select reported last week that his return was expected by the World’s End PPV, and this week we’ve heard that the active plan is for him to be at that show, though we’re not sure in what capacity. Omega has not regularly been on the road with AEW in 2024 while sidelined with diverticulitis.
