Kenny Omega appears at NJPW Power Struggle, gets into brawl backstage with Gabe Kidd

Omega’s first NJPW appearance in Japan in a year.

It was promoted that former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega would be making his return to New Japan Pro-Wrestling at Power Struggle.

Omega appeared in front of the audience in Osaka with his ‘Devil’s Sky’ theme. He grabbed a microphone and stated that he’s getting better and in just a little bit, he’ll be able to wrestle. 

He said he’s a full-time member of the AEW roster but if he can come back, he’d like to do it in an NJPW ring. He’s not able to say exactly when that’ll be, but suggested Wrestle Dynasty at the Tokyo Dome on January 5th. The co-promoted event will feature NJPW, AEW, STARDOM, CMLL and Ring of Honor talents.

Omega closed by saying New Japan is the ‘king’ of pro wrestling and the best pro wrestling on the planet. He’s interested in mixing it up with the new generation of NJPW roster members.

Backstage, Omega ran into Gabe Kidd and the two got into a brawl. In his sit-down interview with New Japan, Omega reacted to some of the brash comments that Kidd has made in the past. Omega made a remark about Kidd coming over to AEW but the fans might not know who he is.
