Kenny Omega’s AEW return appears to be imminent.
Kenny Omega has been absent from All Elite Wrestling for the majority of 2024. On the May 1st episode of Dynamite Omega addressed his health and announced that he was dealing with diverticulitis and required surgery. He was then attacked by The Elite, and written off television. The timetable for his recovery was unknown, but it appears as though his return to the company is happening very soon.
It had previously been reported that Omega was planned for an AEW return by the upcoming World’s End PPV, prior to his departure for Japan where he his is scheduled to take on Gabe Kidd at WrestleDynasty. In an update from via Fightful Select, Omega is said to be leaving for Japan on either January 1st or 2nd, and will be around for Wrestle Kingdom 19 on January 4th, 2025 despite not being booked for the event.
Fightful now reports that the active plan is for Omega to be at AEW’s World’s End PPV, but it is not known in what capacity he will be used.
“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..”
AEW World’s End is set to take place on Saturday December 28th, 2024 from the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.
We will keep you updated if we hear anything else about Kenny Omega’s potential return at World’s End.
