Kenny Omega has dropped a bombshell on what his next move is going to be after his AEW comeback. This will no doubt give the fans a lot of hope.
The former AEW World Champion made his emphatic return at NJPW Wrestle Dynasty where he defeated Gabe Kidd in a very physical match. The match went on for more than 30 minutes and fans were left wondering how Omega managed his performance after such a long break.
This was Omega’s first match in over a year and he showed no signs of ring rust. After the match, he cut a backstage promo with AEW and said that it was time to rebuild.
“You’re probably wondering after that, what’s next? ‘Kenny, you back?’ What do you think? Yeah, I’m back, and if you’re wondering what’s next, it’s time to take back everything I lost. It’s time to rebuild. It’s time to prove what I’ve proven time and time and time again, not just this company, this entire business belongs to Omega. When I come back to AEW, what’s next for Kenny Omega? It’s time to prove to the world once again that wrestling is Kenny Omega. AEW is Kenny Omega, whether you like it or not,” he said. [0:01-0:58]

Kenny Omega calls himself the God of professional wrestling
In the same clip, Omega exuded class and confidence and called himself the God of professional wrestling.
“People have thought that I just disappeared off the face of the planet, that I haven’t been paying attention, I haven’t been watching. I watch everything and all I’ve seen are a lot of frauds and wannabes. There is only one God of professional wrestling. In place of that God, there’s placeholders. There are flash in the pans, there are flavors of the month, but there’s truly only one God, and he’s returning,” he said. [0:59-1:26]
He has well and truly laid down the marker and it will be interesting to see how the AEW locker room and Tony Khan will react to this.
