Kenny Omega, who hasn’t competed since December 2023 due to diverticulitis and surgery, made his NJPW comeback on Monday by showing up at the Power Struggle event.
Omega made a promo saying he wasn’t sure he’d be here and that after talking with Hiroshi Tanahashi, the idea of him wrestling one of NJPW’s young talents came up. He stated that he would be able to do it in a short period of time and wished to return to New Japan.
Although Omega was unsure when he would be able to return, he suggested, “How about January 5th?”
