Kenny Omega made his triumphant return to All Elite Wrestling on Wednesday night after missing significant time due to injuries.

Omega appeared on AEW Dynamite and was named the mystery partner for the Young Bucks as they took on Los Ingobernables in the AEW World Trios Championship tournament. As soon as ring announcer Justin Roberts began reading Omega’s superlatives and the music blared, fans knew what was happening.

The former AEW world champion had not competed since Full Gear in 2021. In the same year, he was named as Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s No. 1 male wrestler in the industry.

The Young Bucks, the tag-team of Matt and Nick Jackson, started off the match before Omega got the tag. Andrade El Idolo, Rush and Dragon Lee held their own in the ring, performing some acrobatic stunts and even taking Omega out into the crowd thanks to a wild aerial maneuver.

Omega would have the last laugh, pulling off the V-Trigger and finishing with the One-Winged Angel on Dragon Lee to score the pin and the win. The team would move on in the tournament.

Omega addressed the crowd after the show. He admitted the last few months of rehab had been "grueling" and questioned whether he would be able to come back at all.
