AEW’s Kenny Omega has given his final comments ahead of his return to the ring after over a year at Wrestle Dynasty.
Omega has not competed in a match since last December, when he defeated Ethan Page on AEW Collision, before he was then sidelined after being diagnosed with diverticulitis.
After over a year out of the ring, Omega is officially set to return to the ring at the upcoming AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty event at the Tokyo Dome on January 5, where he faces off with Gabe Kidd.
Ahead of the match, Omega shared a message to the NJPW YouTube channel, where he detailed his upcoming return to the ring, saying he thought his time was ‘finally over’.
He said:
“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.”
