NJPW releases teaser for Kenny Omega-Hiroshi Tanahashi meeting
NJPW has released a teaser for a new video featuring a meeting between NJPW president Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kenny Omega.
In a social media post late Wednesday, NJPW unveiled a trailer for a video titled “Hiroshi Tanahashi X Kenny Omega Reunion,” with a “coming soon” tag:
The video plays off the real-life history between the two, noting that Tanahashi and Omega squared off in the Wrestle Kingdom main event in 2019 in what would be Omega’s final match as a full-time member of the NJPW roster. Tanahashi defeated Omega to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in the match as Omega was on his way to AEW.
The social media post used a Wrestle Dynasty hashtag, perhaps hinting at Omega’s involvement in that event set for January 5, 2025 in the Tokyo Dome. NJPW, CMLL, AEW, ROH, and Stardom will all have a presence on the Wrestle Dynasty show.
Omega is currently out of action after undergoing surgery to treat a life-threatening bout with diverticulitis.
