Kenny Omega and Gabe Kidd are on a collision course with the destination being NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty.
Kidd has established himself as one of the up and coming talents in NJPW, winning the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship and headlining NJPW events in the US.
Omega and Kidd have traded verbal jabs in the media, and literal jabs backstage at NJPW Power Struggle.
"I can tell you as someone that knows: someone like Gabe Kidd will not set foot in AEW. Maybe if we’re passing through town, grab your boots kid, have a dark match. He will never see the light of TV unless he gets a very positive review from yours truly. I would love to forgive and forget one time years from now, but I don’t see it happening," Omega told NJPW.
He continued, "For anyone that thinks that Gabe might end up the same way as Jay White, or Kazuchika Okada, or Will Ospreay? Gabe Kidd is all your responsibility. Look, I’m throwing my hat in here, I’m taking the bigger step. I’m saying to NJPW that if this is what the company wants, if it’s what’s the fans want and if it’s what Gabe wants. If this is what’s most interesting, then let’s do it, I’ll give you that chance, Gabe. Let’s see what your answer is."
Kidd has competed on ROH on HonorClub and AEW Rampage.
Omega has issued a challenge to Kidd for NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty on January 5th.
