"Hey Tony Khan where's Cody?" - Twitter explodes over rumors of top AEW star potentially returning to Dynamite tonight
Kenny Omega is expected to register his long-awaited return to AEW tonight on Dynamite.
Kenny Omega wrestled his last match at Full Gear in November 2021, where he lost the AEW World Championship to Hangman Page. Taking a hiatus concluded his "Belt Collector" run, which produced world title reigns in All Elite Wrestling, AAA, and IMPACT Wrestling.
The Cleaner underwent numerous procedures to recuperate from multiple injuries, including a hernia and a torn labrum. While recovering, the 38-year-old played a vital part in conceptualizing the video game AEW: Fight Forever.
PWInsider has reported that The Cleaner is expected to wrestle alongside Matt and Nick Jackson in the inaugural AEW Trios Championship tournament. The Young Bucks are scheduled to face Andrade El Idolo, Rush and Dragon Lee tonight on Dynamite in the initial round.
Meanwhile, fans have voiced their excitement to witness Kenny Omega back in action for the first time in 2022. Here are some noteworthy mentions:

The Young Bucks subtly teased the AEW return of Kenny Omega
Last week on Dynamite, we saw Matt and Nick Jackson approach Hangman Page to tag along for the tournament mentioned above. However, the former world champion decided against it, citing his loyalty to The Dark Order.
Meanwhile, Matt Jackson teased the reunion of The Elite on the popular YouTube channel Being The Elite. He was seen receiving a call from an unidentified person during the show's latest episode. Here's how the conversation went down:
"But are you sure? You sure you're ready?" said Matt. (0.24-0.34)

Kenny Omega's long list of injuries has forced him to be on the sidelines so far this year. His speculated return to Tony Khan's promotion for major pay-per-views like Double or Nothing and Forbidden Door didn't pan out.
With All Out approaching soon, fans believe the time is right for Tony Khan to bring in The Best Bout Machine. It will be interesting to witness the road ahead for the former Bullet Club leader.
