The Latest on Kenny Omega’s NJPW Status

New Japan Pro Wrestling has announced the cards for the company’s upcoming New Beginning events, and noticeably absent from the cards is Kenny Omega.

As we previously noted, it is expected that Kenny Omega will be taking some time off from NJPW following his Wrestle Kingdom 11 loss to Okada, but it’s being speculated by various sources that Omega will likely re-sign with NJPW when his deal expires at the end of this month and be back in time for the New Japan Cup in March.
