Kenny Omega Teases Major Shift in AEW Future

Published:

Kenny Omega AEW future has become a focal point for fans following a recent impassioned promo, igniting speculation over his direction in All Elite Wrestling. The shift comes after a dynamic turn of events involving Omega and his longtime allies, The Young Bucks, leaving their collective future and Omega’s solo plans under intense scrutiny.

The Elite Reunites as Uncertainty Looms

On the December 17 episode of AEW Dynamite, Kenny Omega joined forces with The Young Bucks in a much-anticipated in-ring reunion, facing off against Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, and Hechicero of the Don Callis Family. Their victory solidified their status as a formidable trio, despite being ambushed after the match and departing with a $1 million prize. The aftermath, however, quickly shifted the tone of celebration.

The storyline took an abrupt turn the following week when The Young Bucks, Nick and Matt Jackson, disclosed they would be sidelined for the entirety of 2025 due to medical reasons. Omega addressed the audience, affirming that The Elite remains united in spirit, but acknowledging the burden now shifts heavily onto his shoulders. In his words,

“Maybe this gives me a chance to take care of something that I need to take care of myself. While you guys are resting up, I’m gonna do something that I think I should’ve done a little while ago.”

Hints Toward the AEW World Title Picture

According to recent reporting from Fightful Select, Omega’s remarks point toward a likely return to the AEW World Championship scene. The company previously showcased Omega as champion in 2020, during which he aligned himself with the Don Callis Family and carried a villainous persona. His reign came to an end at the 2021 Full Gear event, when ‘Hangman’ Adam Page claimed the title in a decisive match.

With The Young Bucks out of action, Omega’s upcoming solo journey could signal his intent to chase the top prize in AEW once more. This resurgence not only stirs memories of his previous championship run, but also teases potential new alliances or confrontations within the shifting AEW landscape.

Maybe this gives me a chance to take care of something that I need to take care of myself. While you guys are resting up, I’m gonna do something that I think I should’ve done a little while ago.” Kenny Omega’s statement on Dynamite.

Speculation Swirls Around Andrade and Ongoing Rivalries

The AEW community continues to buzz with excitement, questioning exactly what Omega has planned. Another possibility discussed among fans and analysts centers on Andrade. Andrade, who dramatically returned to AEW during the October 1 episode of Dynamite and joined the Don Callis Family by attacking Omega, was recently entangled in a legal conflict involving WWE, which led to his removal from AEW programming for a time. However, Andrade has since resurfaced with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), a promotion that holds a deep personal connection for Kenny Omega.

The possibility of Andrade’s reemergence in AEW raises questions about unfinished business between the two wrestlers and whether their rivalry could reignite as Omega ventures into new storylines without The Young Bucks by his side.
