Kenny Omega vs. Gabe Kidd Confirmed for Wrestle Dynasty

Kenny Omega will officially face Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty in a highly anticipated matchup on January 5th, as confirmed by New Japan Pro Wrestling. This exciting contest will be part of the crossover event featuring top stars from NJPW, AEW, STARDOM, ROH, and CMLL.

The rivalry between Omega and Kidd has been building since November 4th, when they clashed backstage at Power Struggle, sparking weeks of discussion. After careful consideration and talks with NJPW officials, Omega announced that he would be willing to face Kidd at the Tokyo Dome. Kidd responded first on social media, then at a live event in Yokohama, where he declared, “It doesn’t matter what NJPW or the fans want, what matters is what I want,” capping off his fiery tirade after a brutal brawl with Chase Owens and KENTA. Now, the match is official.

Omega, who hasn't stepped into a ring in anger for 396 days, will return to NJPW action for the first time in exactly two years. The question remains: Can Omega overcome the violent force that is Gabe Kidd at the Tokyo Dome?
