Kenny Omega is currently sidelined with injury, and his return date is unknown. When he does return, he knows who he wants to team with and who he wants to face.
The last time Omega was in the ring was the May 1st episode of AEW Dynamite, he was being taken out by his former friends The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) and Kazuchika Okada.
It is unknown when he'll return to the ring, but when he does, he'd like to align with Hiroshi Tanahashi to get revenge on the Bucks.
"First priority is making my return," Kenny told NJPW. "If I can come back, I do want to face the Bucks. I want revenge, but more importantly, I want to do it the right way. The first time Tanahashi and I wrestled, it was for the belt, and then in 2019 it was a lot on the line for the both of us. Now, with the two of us aligned, next time we wrestle, I’d want to do it together. I’ve been a bad guy for a lot of my time, especially in AEW. I cheated to win the AEW title. I don’t want that to be the memory of myself that stays with young fans. If Tanahashi and I meet in that ring again, I’d want to do it as his partner."
Elsewhere during the interview, Omega said he would like to be present for AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty on January 5th. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
Omega has recently been training with Kota Ibushi ahead of a potential in-ring return. Fightful continues to wish him the best in his continued recovery.
