Kenny Omega has his sights set on an in-ring return at Wrestle Dynasty, but he’s not certain that it’s going to happen.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Kenny Omega recently sat down with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful. When asked about his training to return to the ring, Omega spoke about the potential return date of January 5 at Wrestle Dynasty, which is a co-promoted show between New Japan and AEW.
“So how’s it going to look when January 5 rolls around? If that becomes a thing, I don’t know,” Kenny Omega admitted. “I would like to take baby steps into that role again, and I think that’s sort of why I’m happy that it worked out in the way that it did with New Japan, is that they’re willing to facilitate a return for me.
“And I kind of told them I was a little leery about how I was feeling. I wasn’t sure how it would look, and I wasn’t sure if I could give them the kind of Kenny Omega Tokyo Dome performance that maybe they were looking for, but they weren’t looking for that. They’re just happy to house my return.
“And I guess that’s why I couldn’t really list an opponent. Number one, I don’t know if I can do it. Something may turn up a couple of weeks out, which would put me out of doing the match. And I wouldn’t want it to look like false advertising or anything like that.
“Not only that but there’s an entry-level opponent, where it would look more like an exhibition. And then there’s another tier of opponent, then there’s a tier above that, and a tier above that, and a tier above that. And I really kind of wanted to leave it to how I felt. But as of right now, certainly, I probably feel good enough to attempt one of those.”
