Former WWE World Champion to make his AEW TV return at All In and help Kenny Omega? Exploring the possibility

AEW International Champion Kenny Omega will battle one of his all-time great rivals and reigning Continental Champion, Kazuchika Okada, in a Winner Takes All Match for the AEW Unified Championship at All In: Texas. The Rainmaker recently put The Cleaner out of commission with a vicious assault and has joined a formidable stable, i.e., The Don Callis Family, to ensure that he walks out of Globe Life Field stadium victorious.

However, Omega has allies of his own, one of whom has been absent for some time but could show up at All In to even the odds for The Best Bout Machine. The ally in question is former WWE World Champion Paul Wight (FKA The Big Show), whose last AEW appearance came at Full Gear 2024 Zero Hour in the capacity of a guest commentator. His last televised match for the company took place in November 2023.

Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada are set to resurrect their legendary rivalry at next month's stadium show to crown the first-ever AEW Unified Champion. However, The Best Bout Machine was put on the shelf by The Rainmaker some time earlier, as the latter blindsided and brutalized Kenny after their contract signing and aligned himself with Don Callis. The Invisible Hand declared soon afterwards that the former NJPW ace had officially joined his "family."

Despite Callis' past issues with The Young Bucks, Okada has seemingly maintained his ties with Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, who are evidently on board with the 2024 Continental Classic winner having all the help he needs to defeat Omega. Nonetheless, Kenny's friend Mark Briscoe has stepped up in his defense in the former AEW World Champion's absence, as has his longtime tag partner Kota Ibushi, who recently made his return to the promotion's programming.

If Omega finds himself overwhelmed against Okada due to interference from The Rainmaker's new allies, another former teammate of his, Paul Wight, could show up at All In: Texas to help him out. The World's Largest Athlete battled a previous iteration of The Don Callis Family alongside Omega, Ibushi, and Chris Jericho in a Street Fight on the November 15, 2023, edition of Dynamite.

Wight could lend Kenny a hand against the heel faction and help him become the first-ever All Elite Wrestling Unified Champion. However, this is speculative at this point.

The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion confirmed earlier this year that he was still signed with All Elite Wrestling despite his recent absence.

Kenny Omega's ally is set to battle Kazuchika Okada on AEW TV next week

After confronting and laying out Kazuchika Okada on Collision earlier this month, Kota Ibushi made his AEW in-ring return this past Wednesday on Dynamite, defeating Trent Beretta in singles action. The Golden Star is now set to go one-on-one with the Continental Champion in the upcoming 300th episode of the promotion's flagship show, Dynamite.

It remains to be seen if Ibushi will be able to seek revenge on behalf of Kenny Omega when he battles Okada this coming week.
