Kenny Omega is backand he didnt come alone.
After weeks of speculation that Omega was taking extended time off following his war with Kazuchika Okada at AEW All In: Texas, the Cleaner made a surprise return during the August 27 episode of AEW Dynamiteand the timing couldnt have been more dramatic.
It all went down while Adam Page was in the ring delivering a passionate promo. Hangman addressed his AEW World Title win and gave a heartfelt shoutout to Will Ospreay, whos currently taking time off to fix his neck.
Thats when Don Callis interrupted, walking out to taunt Page and tease that someone from the Don Callis Family might take that championship from him. As the ring filled with Callis crew, the segment looked like it was about to turn ugly fastuntil Kenny Omegas music hit.
The crowd erupted as Omega stormed the ring, flanked by Speedball Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight. Together, the trio ran off the Don Callis Family and stood tall with Hangman Page. The reunion came just weeks after reports claiming Omega was stepping away from AEW following the brutal title unification match at All In.
Before Wednesdays return, AEW sources had confirmed Omega was off TV, but didnt specify whether hed be back for weekly appearances or just a few major moments. His absence followed a string of setbacks, including a life-threatening battle with diverticulitis earlier this year that nearly ended his wrestling career.
In the months since returning from illness, Omega wrestled ten matchesincluding the 30-minute classic with Okada that unified the AEW International and Continental Titles. That match had many questioning how much more his body could take.
Now it looks like Kenny Omega isnt done just yetand he may have some backup this time. With AEW losing stars like Will Ospreay and Adam Cole to injury or time off, Omegas return adds a much-needed jolt to the roster.
