AEW President Tony Khan has addressed Kenny Omega’s return, with the EVP making a comeback at Dynamite Maximum Carnage.
Omega will step back into an AEW ring for the first time in over a year on Wednesday (January 15), when he faces Brian Cage in singles action.
This will be Omega’s first AEW match and second match altogether since getting hospitalized for diverticulitis in December 2023.
Speaking on the Battleground podcast, Tony Khan commented on Omega’s return, noting:
“It’s so exciting to have some of the top stars returning to AEW. Tonight, Kenny Omega returns to the AEW ring for the first time in over a year. We haven’t seen Kenny Omega in the ring here in America in a really long time.
“He did have a comeback match in Japan that went very well, but now he’s being tested against one of the most powerful and one of the most impressive athletes in really in my lifetime that I can ever remember, and that’s The Machine Brian Cage.
“It’s been huge having Kenny Omega back in AEW. I’m incredibly excited about Omega returning to AEW and all the possibilities and everything that comes out of tonight, when Kenny Omega returns to the ring on Dynamite against Brian Cage.”
Omega returned to the ring at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, defeating NJPW STRONG Champion Gabe Kidd after 32 minutes of non-title action.
