Having been absent from AEW for the whole of 2024, Kenny Omega has been confirmed for an upcoming appearance.
Omega’s absence has been a result of potentially life-threatening diverticulitis with the star having recently returned to training with “moderate intensity” earlier this year.
He has since confirmed that he isn’t medically cleared to make a return as of September 2024.
The former AEW World Champion is, however, set to make an appearance at an upcoming New Japan Pro Wrestling show.
NJPW Power Struggle in EDION Arena Osaka takes place on November 4, 2024 and Omega will be making a “special guest appearance.”
Confirming the news on the NJPW website, it was revealed:
“Power Struggle in EDION Arena Osaka is set to be loaded enough with championship action up and down a card headlined by Zack Sabre Jr. and Shingo Takagi for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Fans from all over the world will be watching an event that’s sure to see ground laid on the road to the Tokyo Dome January 4 & 5.
“That includes one special guest who plans on seeing the action up close and personal. Kenny Omega will be at EDION Arena Osaka for a special guest appearance! After a reunion at NJPW’s offices with Hiroshi Tanahashi created buzz across the wrestling world, what will come from this special appearance?”
Omega last competed in NJPW at New Year Dash in January 2023, teaming with Kazuchika Okada and beating United Empire (Aaron Henare & Jeff Cobb).
Prior to that, he beat Will Ospreay to become IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17.
His last match to date took place on the December 9 AEW Collision with a victory over now WWE star Ethan Page.
