Minutes ago, current AEW Superstar and NJPW legend Kenny Omega captured his first IWGP title in more than four years.
Omega made a return to Japan once again to face his rival Will Ospreay for the IWGP US Heavyweight title.
Omega's last appearance in Tokyo Dome was back to Wrestle Kingdom 13 in 2019.
The latest match between Omega and Ospreay was the second single one in the history of both icons since the PWG 2015 contest.
As expected, an absolutely incredible match between Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay at @njpwglobal Wrestle Kingdom 17 #wk17. I’ve not ever seen many better than Omega in my lifetime as a wrestling fan.
In an excellent, breathtaking match, Omega and Ospreay battered each other for more than 30 minutes.

The victory of Omega motivated pro wrestling fans worldwide to take social media to greet the legend who spent almost a year away from the ring due to injury, and made his return a few months ago in the AEW Trios World titles tournament.
Omega is classified as the top foreign pro wrestler in the Japanese promotion and he achieved milestones that weren't touched by a foreigner.
Kenny Omega holds gold in the land where he became a legend, once again.
Fucking unbelievable match. #wk17 #njpw
