Tony Khan Excited About New Possibilities with Kenny Omega’s AEW Return

Kenny Omega made his return to AEW television at World End after a year following a battle with diverticulitis. He is set for a huge match on AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage this week and ahead of the show, Tony Khan has addressed Omega’s return and how important his comeback is to AEW.

While speaking with Tim Battle and Eli on the Battleground Podcast, Tony Khan made it clear he is excited about Omega’s return. Fans are looking forward to seeing him back in action and what he’ll bring to AEW after being away for so long. His match with Brian Cage is expected to be a big moment for fans.

It’s so exciting to have some of the top stars returning to AEW. Tonight, Kenny Omega returns to the AEW ring for the first time in over a year. We haven’t seen Kenny Omega in the ring here in America in a really long time. He did have a comeback match in Japan that went very well, but now he’s being tested against one of the most powerful and one of the most impressive athletes in really in my lifetime that I can ever remember, and that’s The Machine Brian Cage. It’s been huge having Kenny Omega back in AEW. I’m incredibly excited about Omega returning to AEW and all the possibilities and everything that comes out of tonight, when Kenny Omega returns to the ring on Dynamite against Brian Cage.”

Kenny Omega will be duking it out with The Don Callis Family’s Brian Cage on Dynamite this week, in what will be Omega’s first match in AEW since 2023. If his performance against Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty is anything to go by, fans can expect Omega to deliver an instant classic against The Machine.

This match is more than just Kenny Omega’s return; it’s a major moment for AEW as the company gains momentum in 2025. Omega’s comeback opens a new chapter, and the result could shape AEW’s storylines and championship scene for the future, especially as Jon Moxley continues to terrorize AEW.

With Omega’s legacy as a world-class performer and Brian Cage’s dominance as a member of The Don Callis Family, fans are bracing for an unforgettable match. Will Omega reclaim his place at the top of AEW, or will Cage spoil his return? Share your predictions and thoughts below!
