As noted before, this past Monday’s Power Struggle 2024 event for New Japan Pro Wrestling featured Kenny Omega making an appearance and announced his upcoming in-ring return from diverticulitis. Omega’s appearance was also notable for him being involved in a storyline backstage altercation with Gabe Kidd. Following the altercation, NJPW President Hiroshi Tanahashi announced that he had fined and gave a warning to Kidd over his backstage attack.
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reported on Twitter that he received footage of Kidd and Omega’s backstage altercation from a member of the Japanese press who was at the event.

Kidd and Omega’s backstage altercation is currently speculated to have been the start of a storyline feud to setup a match between the two at AEW and NJPW’s co-promoted Wrestle Dynasty event on January 5, 2025 in Tokyo.
