Kenny Omega Says He’d Be In The Ring Immediately If He Got Cleared

In an interview with NJPW1972.com, Kenny Omega said he still hasn’t been cleared to wrestle yet but would return immediately if he were. Omega has been out of action for ten months now due to dealing with diverticulitis. Here are highlights:

On possibly wrestling at NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty: “If they cleared me tomorrow, I would be back in the ring. There’s a lot I don’t know right now, but I’d absolutely love to be on a stage like Wrestle Dynasty.”

On wanting to team with Hiroshi Tanahashi: “First priority is making my return, but if I can come back, I do want to face the Bucks. I want revenge, but more importantly, I want to do it the right way. The first time Tanahashi and I wrestled, it was for the belt, and then in 2019 it was a lot on the line for the both of us. Now, with the two of us aligned, next time we wrestle, I’d want to do it together. I’ve been a bad guy for a lot of my time, especially in AEW. I cheated to win the AEW title. I don’t want that to be the memory of myself that stays with young fans. If Tanahashi and I meet in that ring again, I’d want to do it as his partner.”
