Kenny Omega makes pro wrestling return at Wrestle Dynasty
Kenny Omega is back, and didn’t lose a step.
Omega’s first match in over a year saw him defeat Gabe Kidd in the semi main event of Wrestle Dynasty. The match was brutal at times, with both men bleeding towards the end of the match. Tables were used, with both men going through them at various points. Towards the end, Kidd planted Omega with a ganso bomb but was unable to put Omega away. Omega ended up winning the match after a kamigoye and the One-winged Angel.
After the match Hiroshi Tanahashi, who was on commentary, could be seen in tears as both men were helped to the back.
Tony Khan commented on the match shortly after it finished.
Omega’s last match was on the December 5, 2023 edition of Collision, defeating Ethan Page. Shortly after he was taken off the road after due to diverticulitis, which he eventually underwent surgery for. After making an appearance at Power Struggle in November, he was confronted backstage by Kidd, setting up the match.
At Worlds End last weekend, Omega made his return to AEW by handing the Continental title to Continental Classic winner Kazuchika Okada, teasing a future match between the two. He is set to appear on the next episode of AEW Dynamite.
