In a recent interview with Mojo Rawley on TMZ Sports, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) President and CEO Tony Khan finally addressed the highly-anticipated return of former World Champion Kenny Omega, who has been out of action since December 2023 due to a serious medical condition called diverticulitis.
mega is slated to make his TV return this Wednesday on Dynamite in his hometown of Winnipeg, although it remains unclear whether he is cleared to compete or not.
Khan’s comments come on the heels of a tumultuous period for Omega, who was fired from The Elite by Matthew and Nicholas Jackson last month.
The Young Bucks, as they are known, introduced Kazuchika Okada as the new member of their group, leaving many to wonder what the future holds for Omega in AEW.
However, according to Khan, the timing of Omega’s return couldn’t be more perfect.
“We have the return of Kenny Omega and to be honest with you Mojo, for me it’s the perfect time for Kenny Omega to come back to AEW,”
Khan stated. The AEW President went on to reveal that he and Omega share a common enemy in The Elite, saying,
“I know Kenny Omega and I probably have some of the same enemies in AEW right now.”
This statement is particularly intriguing given the recent events that have transpired on Dynamite. Just last week, The Elite and Jack Perry took out Tony Khan himself, leaving many to speculate about the ongoing storyline.
With Omega’s return imminent, it will be fascinating to see how he fits into the mix and whether he will align himself with Khan against their shared enemies.
The EVPs of AEW, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, also reacted to Omega’s return on social media platform ‘X’, simply stating, “Should be a fantastic night.”
This brief but telling comment suggests that The Young Bucks are gearing up for a showdown with Omega, adding an extra layer of tension to an already electric situation.
As the wrestling world eagerly awaits Omega’s return this Wednesday, one thing is certain: the dynamic between Tony Khan and The Elite has just gotten a whole lot more interesting.
Will Omega seek revenge against those who wronged him, or will he form an unlikely alliance with Khan against their common foes? One thing is for sure – the next chapter in this saga promises to be nothing short of explosive.
