Kenny Omega attacked by Gabe Kidd backstage at NJPW Power Struggle
Kenny Omega may have a future opponent in Gabe Kidd.
After Omega cut a promo expressing interest in wrestling at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, he was confronted backstage by Gabe Kidd, which ultimately led to a brawl. NJPW’s social media shared photos of the confrontation.
Omega told the crowd at Power Struggle that while he doesn’t know when he’ll be able to return, he would be able to wrestle in “a little bit.” He also expressed interest in facing one of New Japan’s younger talents, saying that he would love to wrestle at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5. Omega said that while he is an AEW-contracted wrestler, NJPW is still the King of Sports, the best pro wrestling in the world, and considers NJPW home.
Omega has been out for most of 2024 after undergoing surgery for diverticulitis. In recent weeks, Omega has spent time in Japan, including sitting with Hiroshi Tanahashi for an interview where they discussed their Wrestle Kingdom match from 2019.
