Kenny Omega says he must continue because of people like Gabe Kidd.
Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega has been sidelined since December 2023 due to diverticulitis. He will make his return to the ring at NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty, where he will face Gabe Kidd. They have taken shots at each other in interviews, and they got into an altercation at NJPW Power Struggle.
In a video that NJPW posted on their YouTube channel, Kenny Omega sent a message to Gabe Kidd ahead of their match at NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty.
“There’s no guarantee of a second chance in life. Not everyone can be the person they grew up dreaming of becoming. But there are those chosen by destiny and doomed to bear a responsibility from birth. I cannot escape it, I cannot hide from it, and I cannot die. When I thought my time was finally over, I saw a brilliant light, and like a phoenix from the flames I was reborn. I thought, ‘Why must I continue?’ It’s because of you and people like you who destroyed the beauty I created. ‘I’m a madman, I’m a madman.’ No, you’re not. You’re weak. You’re riding on a legacy of what I created. You’ve managed to create a group of sheep around you. You think they agree with you, that they support you? What those fans really want to see is strength. So let’s see how strong you are. Let’s see that spirit that you like to talk about so much. Because I just don’t see it in you. I have given you an opportunity on a platter. Are you scared? Do you want to run away? Don’t worry, Gabe. If you can’t handle the pressure, I’m sure there’s room back on the psych ward. Until next time, Gabe, goodbye, mwah, and good night. Bang," Omega said.
Omega previously said that Kidd would not appear on AEW television unless he gave him a positive review. Check out his comments here.
