Omega addressed the crowd, stating if Tsuji didn’t have an opponent on January 4, then he wanted the match with the championship on the line. It all but guarantees the match is set in stone for the Tokyo Dome. Omega hinted that by winning the title, he would wrestle in New Japan more often.
It was noted that this will be a “generational clash” from two eras of the promotion, with Omega competing on the tenth anniversary of his first Wrestle Kingdom main event against Kazuchika Okada.
Power Struggle was Omega’s first match in Japan since Wrestle Dynasty in January 2025, when he defeated Gabe Kidd.
