Kenny Omega returning to ROH

[Kellie]

Here in the early months of 2010 one man has been noticeably absent from Ring of Honor due to his outside commitments: Kenny Omega. His Japanese bookings, which included debuting for New Japan Pro Wrestling, have kept him away from ROH competition since “Final Battle 2009” where he was on the losing end of a Four Corner Survival AND found himself bumped out of the “Pick 6” in the same night. December 19, 2009 was not the best night for Omega, and certainly not a grand way to end the year where he truly broke out in ROH with his epic clashes against Davey Richards and Austin Aries at “Clash of the Contenders” and “The Omega Effect” respectively. After a successful tour abroad, Omega is finally coming back to ROH with one goal in mind: Solidifying his place at the top in ROH.

In order to get back on track, he must get back into the “Pick 6”, and there are two huge roadblocks in his path when ROH returns to Michigan and Canada on March 19th and 20th. First, when ROH debuts in Dearborn, Omega will have a “Reverse The Curse” rematch with Roderick Strong, and Strong’s number six spot in the rankings will be up for grabs. Last December, Strong was able to pick up the victory and hold onto his spot. Fast forward three months and both men have been through quite a bit. Strong is in the thick of the World Title picture after the events of the “8th Anniversary Show”, while Omega’s overseas excursion has upped his game considerably. For Strong to remain in title contention, he must win this match, otherwise his promised title shot may not mean anything. For Omega, it’s a must-win as well if he wants to have a prayer of getting into contention anytime soon. That sixth spot in the Pick 6 rankings is the easiest to lose, and both Roddy and Kenny are well aware of this fact, but the path to glory is never easy and these are two men willing to go the distance to take their spot.

Unfortunately for Omega, the road hits a huge checkpoint the following evening when ROH returns to Mississauga, Ontario. That checkpoint is called Davey Richards. At “Clash Of The Contenders”, Omega and Richards had one of 2009’s classic bouts in which Omega pinned Richards for the three count. Now Richards comes to Canada looking for a receipt as he attempts to get back into the ROH World Title hunt. Should Omega make it through Strong and take his number six rank, this match could also be a “Pick 6” contest. Kenny Omega could very well find himself on the outs in the title picture just as quickly as he earned his way in should Richards defeat him in Mississauga. In October when these two last met, they tore into one another with a surprising ferocity, and you can beat there will be more of the same, especially if potential title opportunities are factored in. And what will happen here should Richards capture the ROH World Television Title on March 5th? There are still a great deal of factors that could affect the color of this contest before we even get to March 20th so keep your eyes on ROHWrestling.com as we head into this huge March weekend.
