Since an appearance at New Japan’s Power Struggle show earlier this month, Omega’s been building to a match with NJPW Strong champion Gabe Kidd. They brawled backstage, and have been exchanging words ever since.

NJPW announced on Friday that Omega will face Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty, which takes place January 5 at the Tokyo Dome. This follows a promo by Omega in the last week saying he was ready to wrestle Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty. NJPW made the match official after Kidd accepted Omega’s challenge.
