Kenny Omega has been out of action for several months before finally having surgery.
Fortunately, he is back to face Gabe Kidd. Dave Meltzer reported the following in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
“A lot of people brought up the idea of why Omega is doing his first match in New Japan, but the 1/5 show is a joint show with AEW and in a sense it’s considered the AEW debut show in Japan, where his return would mean the most. But Omega does need to get going on U.S. television in a big way if he’s physically ready to work regularly. Right now he wants to take it slow before going back full-time with the idea of easing into a full-time schedule down the line and hoping everything holds up.”
