The first-ever Wrestle Dynasty show will take place on Sunday, January 5th.
A collaborative effort between AEW, NJPW, CMLL and STARDOM, the star-studded show will see the fallout from Wrestle Kingdom 19 take place along with stars from AEW challenging for New Japan Championships in an inverse to the Forbidden Door show that takes place in the summer.
The biggest talking point heading into the show is that Kenny Omega will return to the ring after more than 1 year out of action due to diverticulitis. Omega’s opponent for the show will be Gabe Kidd following an altercation between the two at the Power Struggle event that took place in 2024.
