After a five-month hiatus, Kenny Omega made a shocking return to AEW TV on the May 1, 2024, edition of Dynamite, only to be attacked by The Elite (The Young Bucks, Jack Perry, and Kazuchika Okada) in front of his home crowd. This week, Omega is set to make an important announcement on Dynamite, leaving fans wondering what’s next for The Cleaner.
One possibility is that Omega may announce his retirement from professional wrestling, a decision that would be understandable given his recent health struggles with diverticulitis. However, this scenario seems unlikely, as Omega has already addressed his fans, promising to fight his illness and return to the ring.
A more plausible scenario is that Omega could take on a non-wrestling role within AEW, leveraging his position as an EVP and founding father of the company. With Tony Khan out of commission, Omega could step in as the new authority figure, restoring order to the promotion. This move would not only keep Omega involved in the company but also provide a fresh dynamic to the AEW narrative.
Another intriguing possibility is that Omega could introduce Sting as the new general manager of AEW. After being attacked by The Elite, Khan may have planned to appoint a new face to run the company, and Sting’s retirement from in-ring action makes him a prime candidate for the role. This development could lead to an exciting feud between Sting and The Elite, with Omega serving as a key player in the storyline.
Omega has already teased a potential match against Kazuchika Okada, which could be announced on tonight’s Dynamite. With All In 2024 in London still three months away, Omega may have sufficient time to recover from his illness and return to the ring. This match would undoubtedly be a dream encounter for fans, and Omega’s announcement could set the stage for a thrilling buildup.
Finally, Omega might reveal plans to return to action with a new alliance, bringing in Kota Ibushi, ‘Hangman’ Adam Page, and Hook to take on The Elite. This group, consisting of familiar allies and former foes, would provide a formidable counter to The Elite’s dominance.
As Kenny Omega steps back into the AEW spotlight, fans will be eagerly anticipating his next move. Will he announce his retirement, take on a new role, or signal his return to the ring? One thing is certain – The Cleaner is back, and the wrestling world is waiting with bated breath.
