Kenny Omega is set for in-ring action on an AEW show for the first time in over a year.
Omega vs. Brian Cage has been announced for next week’s AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage show in Cincinnati. The announcement was made on this week’s Dynamite following an emotional promo from Omega detailing his health struggles over the past year.
Omega underwent surgery to remove two feet of his intestinal tract after a bout with diverticulitis. His last AEW match was in December 2023 against Ethan Page.
After Omega spoke on Dynamite, he was confronted by Don Callis, his former storyline manager. Callis unleashed Cage, Lance Archer, and Kyle Fletcher on Omega to set up next week’s Omega vs. Cage contest. Will Ospreay ran in to make the save for Omega.
“The Cleaner” returned to NJPW at last weekend’s Wrestle Dynasty event, putting on an instant classic against Gabe Kidd.
