Rocky Romero didn't expect to have Kenny Omega vs. Gabe Kidd at AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty.
Many fans were shocked when it was announced that Kenny Omega would be making his return to the ring at Wrestle Dynasty in a match against Gabe Kidd. Still, the match impressed most fans, with some even calling it the best match of Gabe Kidd's entire career.
Now, Omega is back on a full-time basis in AEW, as he's teaming with Will Ospreay to fight off the Don Callis family.
On the latest edition of the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Rocky Romero talked about featuring Omega vs. Kidd on the show and how the match was a marquee moment in his career.
“Never expected that we would have a match like Kenny Omega versus Gabe Kidd, I mean, that wasn’t even in the cards, it came much later obviously not knowing what was going to happen to Kenny during his state. An opponent like Gabe Kidd where they’ve never even been in a room together until that moment. It was cool, it was cool to bring that together and it was such a representation of this younger generation, the youthful generation of New Japan, we’re seeing this rise of this brand new generation and they’re all super talented. To see the old school generation of Kenny, a guy who’s headlined that Tokyo Dome so many times in epic, legendary matches, comes and wrestles Gabe Kidd, who is the future. It was just a really cool moment, there was so much emotion in the building. It was definitely a marquee moment in my career just be a part of it.”
