Kenny Omega currently dealing with visa issue

[Chris]

A visa issue has prevented Kenny Omega from appearing on AEW television over the past couple of weeks.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that a visa issue is why the Canadian-born Omega hasn't appeared on AEW programming since the January 11 episode of Dynamite. Omega is hoping that he can return to AEW next Wednesday, but that's not a lock.

"Kenny Omega has been off TV for a few weeks due to a visa issue. He badly wanted to be at the show in Lexington because he loved Jay Briscoe but was unable to be there," Meltzer wrote. "The hope is that he can return on 2/1 in Dayton but that’s not a lock."

Fightful also reported on Thursday that Omega wanted to be at Wednesday's Dynamite in Lexington but wasn't able to because of the visa issue.

Omega & The Young Bucks won the AEW Trios titles on the January 11 Dynamite in Los Angeles, defeating Death Triangle in a ladder match to wrap up their best-of-seven series. The Young Bucks noted on Being the Elite that there was a lot of stress leading up to the match, which was a visa issue that almost prevented the match from happening.

I legit assumed he lived in NORTH CAROLINA

Lowkey definitely thought he was a North Carolina resident too.

Hopefully it gets resolved quickly and easily.

Shit seems to be a much more common issue since the pandemic than it was prior

Yeah from what I've heard, all those government entities are backed up so you have to get your shit in way earlier than before to get it resolved in time

Not Canadian but even Finn did with WWE. I think the Iconics one was more related to them not having current work after being released tho

I forgot Balor recently had issues with that.

I just know I’ve heard so much more about the subject in the past 3 years than I had in the first 22 I watched wrestling

Especially with people currently contracted to American companies. It's wild to me that there's not a better process for renewals when that's the case
