Kenny Omega will make his highly anticipated AEW return during the anniversary episode of AEW Dynamite this Wednesday, October 1. His comeback follows an injury caused by TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher’s attack in early September, marking a significant moment for fans awaiting his recovery.
Confirmed Return Match and Participants for AEW Dynamite Anniversary
It was revealed on Saturday’s AEW Collision that Omega will team with the current AEW World Tag Team Champions, Brodido—consisting of Bandido and Brody King—in a six-man tag team match. Their opponents will be the Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson, alongside Josh Alexander. Brody King delivered the announcement during a backstage promo segment.
Background of Omega’s Injury and Rivalries
Omega was previously removed from action after being stretchered out following an eight-man tag team contest on the September 3 edition of Dynamite. This match also featured the Young Bucks and Josh Alexander, with Kyle Fletcher responsible for the storyline injury. The tension between Omega and the Young Bucks, who were once part of The Elite faction together, has been ongoing for over a year, especially after Matt and Nick Jackson sided with Kazuchika Okada, who also targeted Omega in a recent storyline angle.
Additional Matches Scheduled for the AEW Dynamite Sixth Anniversary
The show will also feature several notable contests including Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Daniel Garcia taking on Hangman Page, Samoa Joe, and Powerhouse Hobbs. Kris Statlander and Darby Allin are set to face Marina Shafir and Wheeler Yuta, while TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher will defend his title against Orange Cassidy. Furthermore, fans can look forward to the return of Jurassic Express during this milestone episode.
Kenny Omega AEW return is expected to be a pivotal moment for AEW Dynamite’s sixth anniversary, potentially setting the stage for renewed feuds and story developments, especially involving The Elite faction and the AEW World Tag Team Champions.
