Below are some top news stories of the day, involving Kenny Omega and Drew McIntyre.
• Kenny Omega is set to return to wrestling after being sidelined throughout 2024 due to severe diverticulitis.
While his comeback was initially scheduled for NJPW’s Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, 2025, against Gabe Kidd, Fightful Select reports that AEW appears to be planning his return earlier at the December 28 Worlds End PPV.
Vignette for his return aired during this week’s episode of Dynamite.
Omega’s NJPW appearance was approved by AEW’s Tony Khan to bolster relations between the two promotions. Fans are eager to see Omega’s comeback, which All Elite Wrestling aims to leverage as a significant storyline before he competes in Japan.

• During a live session on TikTok, WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre gave his thoughts on AEW:
“I’m happy to watch all wrestling, especially when I’m off. When I was out that three months, when one person called me the entire time I was out, that’s the time for me to catch up on everything. IMPACT, AEW, New Japan, the independents.
I’m happy to see so many people I’m friends with making a full-time living. That wasn’t the case when I was fired in 2014 and reinvented what it meant to be a professional wrestler, using social media as I still do to this day at the top level.
It’s been going since 2014. To rebrand myself, to see how much the industry grew in those three years, and it led to so many places and so many people making a full-time living. It’s awesome.”
