Kenny Omega isn't who he used to be.
At NJPW Power Struggle, Kenny Omega appeared in front of the live crowd and stated that he wanted to return to the company, specifically targeting the AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty show on January 5, 2025. Nothing was confirmed, but Omega also said that he told Hiroshi Tanahashi that he'd want to wrestle one of the promotion's younger performers.
As he arrived backstage, Omega was attacked by Gabe Kidd. The two stars brawled all over the backstage area.
During a seperate backstage segment, Omega issued further comment and stated that he isn't sure what kind of person he will be if he makes a comeback for the company. Omega also stated that being in NJPW fuels him and makes him feel like he can be the best version of himself.
“Yeah. So I went out there not knowing what I was gonna say. Said what I said and I meant what I said. It’s been tough dealing with all of this, the injury, the sickness. But, I feel about ready to come back. For the fans here in Japan, for the fans worldwide, I want to make it something special. I want to come back to the place that made me me, the reason why a lot of people even know who I am is because of [NJPW]. If I do come back, I’d love to come back for New Japan. I’m not who I used to be. I’m not sure what kind of person will be making a comeback but I’m going to give him my best shot. If guys like Tanahashi can go as long as he can go, I need to have that same spirit and fight and fight and fight and fight until I can’t fight anymore. Being here fuels me, being here makes me feel like a different person, makes me feel like I can be the best version of me that I can be. If you guys are willing to have me, I’d love to come back to New Japan. Until next time, whenever that may be, I bid you all ado, muah, goodnight, bang.”
