Kenny Omega, who has been sidelined for nearly a year due to a diverticulitis diagnosis that required urgent surgery, is set to make his much-anticipated return to the ring. Omega’s health issues forced him to take a break from wrestling, delaying several of his plans. However, it has now been confirmed that Omega will be part of the upcoming Wrestle Dynasty event next year.
During the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view, it was officially announced that Wrestle Dynasty will take place on January 5, 2025, at the iconic Tokyo Dome in Japan. The event is set to be a monumental occasion, featuring stars from AEW, NJPW, CMLL, Stardom, and ROH.
Fans are particularly excited for the reunion of Omega and Hiroshi Tanahashi, who faced off in the main event of NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 in 2019. Since then, Omega has become a cornerstone of AEW, while Tanahashi has ascended to the role of president of New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), further strengthening the relationship between AEW and NJPW.
NJPW recently shared a teaser video on Twitter featuring a reunion between Omega and Tanahashi, hinting at a potential rematch at Wrestle Dynasty. The post read:
“REUNION @tanahashi1_100 x @kennyomegamanX Coming soon… #njpw #njWD #wrestledynasty”
As Omega works tirelessly to prepare for his return, fans are buzzing with excitement, speculating about a possible final showdown between these two legendary figures.
Kenny Omega’s return to the ring at Wrestle Dynasty is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated events of 2025. Will this reunion with Hiroshi Tanahashi lead to an epic rematch on one of wrestling’s grandest stages?
