At Full Gear, we saw the culmination of a 3-year storyline where Hangman Adam Page won the AEW World Championship against his former friend and tag team partner, Kenny Omega, in a genuinely feel-good moment. However, Adam Page was working with a dance partner not at 100%.


So Kenny Omega was working the match with only one good shoulder, which resulted in him being at the same strength as me being only able to lift the bar for a bench press. I know he mentioned before that he has had some injuries throughout his title reign, but I think now it may be a good sign that he should take some time to recharge. I'm hopeful they can at least give him most the time between now and Revolution to heal up. Kenny has worked hard during his run, and he can rest up or just do promos and storyline-related stuff out of the ring.

Kenny, drop them and get some rest, watch some hockey, play some video games, sit in front of a nice fireplace with a cup of hot coca since Winnepeg gets cold. Come back at 100%.

I think he should skip revolution tbh, apparently no one besides TK has been at more AEW shows, wrestling or in person, than Kenny Omega

I say it can depend on how he's healing and the storyline. That is why I said "At least" until Revolution. At least AEW is in a good spot for its roster. Because right now they have two former world champions potentially out with Moxley entering rehab and now Kenny dealing with an injury, but their roster is well booked enough where they can get people in the main event or on the cusp of the main event. Like Bryan Danielson, Miro, Adam Cole, MJF, Darby Allin, Christian Cage, Malakai Black, PAC, Orange Cassidy, Eddie Kingston, CM Punk... and I can go on. Kenny can be able to take a show off. His health comes first.

If he has a neck injury it could be the cause of the vertigo as well (quick google research)

Have him drop the AAA title and then do Cole and the Bucks turning on him. Gives Kenny a story for when he comes back and lets him take time off to heal which he needs

WON: AEW's Kenny Omega getting medically evaluated Wednesday
renderTimingPixel.png

Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega will have all of his various ailments and injuries that he has been working through checked out Wednesday, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.
Meltzer said Omega has been dealing with various injuries for several months but was determined to see the Hangman Page storyline come to completion which it did this past Saturday at Full Gear as he lost the title to Page.
Meltzer said after the evaluation, it will be determined if Omega will take a break from wrestling. Meltzer said Omega was going to take some time off at some point, but chose not to as he wanted to continue the storyline.
In a video released over the weekend by famous YouTube chiropractor and wrestling fan Beau Hightower, Omega said he has dealt with "bad" vertigo since 2018. He said it can get bad while he is wrestling and working while things are spinning is a new skill he has had to inherit.
Omega has wrestled 32 times in 2021, mostly in AEW with some Impact Wrestling and AAA appearances as well. That number is virtually identical to 2020 (34 times).

PWInsider: "The word making the rounds is that Kenny Omega may be out for an extended period of time from in-ring action as he's likely looking at shoulder surgery. The hope is they will have some clarity on that within the week."

Should’ve dropped it already to Andrade.

Guy definitely needs to take some time to himself to rest up and heal. You can’t keep burning the candle at both ends

Allegedly, AEW wanted him to lose to Andrade after they'd already decided Christian was beating him for the Impact belt and AAA fought against that lol was some contradicting stories that came out about that though.

Sucks that it looks like the Vikingo match isn't happening now since Kenny really wanted that one, but judging by these reports there's no way he should try it
