It has been a long journey but Kenny Omega is finally returning to the ring 396 days after his last one live tonight during Wrestle Dynasty in Tokyo.
The former AEW champion had his last match against Ethan Page on the December 5, 2023 episode of Collision and then went on the injured list following a severe bout with diverticulitis.
Omega underwent diverticulitis surgery in late May of last year in New York and was lucky that complications prior to surgery were not fatal.
The Cleaner made his presence felt on Dynamite last week, his first AEW televised appearance since he was taken out by The Elite in early May on Dynamite.
Tonight, he faces NJPW’s Gabe Kidd and Omega has already announced that there will be a new presentation for him at the Tokyo Dome.
“I’m debuting a new entrance at the Tokyo Dome,” Omega said on X. “A new song created by the amazing Final Fantasy 14 & 16 composer Masayoshi Soken, with vocals by Jason Miller and a special voice by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu.”
