Having been absent since his defeat at AEW All In 2026 to Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega has confirmed that he will return to AEW.
In an interview at the Tokyo Game Show with Hikaru Shida, Kenny Omega stated that this is not the end for him as a wrestler and that he is taking advantage of the downtime to set up a marquee match at All In. A high-intensity bout that will go down in history.
His full statement :
“It was perhaps the most difficult match of my career. Of course, I’m getting older little by little. My strength is gradually waning. I’m getting weaker, but at Wembley Stadium, in front of about 50,000 people, I lost in the main event, but I truly gave everything I had. I gave everything. I am nonetheless very proud. Yes, you see injuries, but my heart is already healed. I could not be prouder of our champion, Will Ospreay. I hope everyone will keep an excellent memory of what will be a great memory for me at Wembley Stadium. This is not the end. Please continue to support me for what’s next.”
When will his return take place?
It is currently impossible to confirm when Kenny Omega’s return to AEW shows will take place.
If you look at the company’s upcoming shows, none are currently announced. Apparently the company wants to keep the mystery surrounding Kenny Omega’s return.
AEW’s upcoming shows will be watched closely for more details. For fans hoping to see him at AEW Grand Slam France, that will also need to be confirmed.
