Due to a difficult bout with diverticulitis, Kenny Omega has been out of action for the entirety of 2024 with only a handful of AEW appearances to his name. While questions remain about Omega’s in-ring future, the Cleaner will make a return to New Japan Pro Wrestling next month as part of the company’s Power Struggle event.
The event will mark Omega’s first time appearing for New Japan in close to two years. His most recent match for the promotion came in January 2023 when he and Kazuchika Okada defeated Aaron Henare and Jeff Cobb at the New Year’s Dash event.
