Kenny Omega Set for AEW Return at Worlds End, Tokyo Dome Match Confirmed

One Big Thing

Kenny Omega plans to return to AEW at the Worlds End PPV on December 28, ahead of his confirmed match against Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty in the Tokyo Dome on January 5.

Key Details

• Omega will face NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty
• He’s expected to appear at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 19 on January 4
• AEW plans to feature Omega at Worlds End PPV in some capacity
• His exact role at Worlds End remains undefined

Background

Omega has been largely absent from wrestling in 2024 due to a severe case of diverticulitis that:

• Forced him to exit his storyline with Chris Jericho in late 2023
• Was reported as potentially life-threatening
• Limited his appearances to a brief summer return

Why It Matters

Omega’s return adds star power to AEW’s year-end event and signals his recovery from a serious health condition. His appearance at Worlds End will mark his first major wrestling appearance since his medical hiatus.

Last Run in AEW

Omega’s last notable AEW storyline saw him:

• Return briefly during summer 2024
• Face betrayal from The Young Bucks
• Exit during The Elite’s hostile takeover angle
