Kenny Omega will be taking some time away from AEW. On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Omega addressed his championship loss to Adam Page with a backstage promo. Omega gave props to Page and said that he needed to think things over, but couldn’t do it in AEW. Omega asked Adam Cole and The Young Bucks to hold down the fort for him and they agreed.

In addition, off the heels of the news that Omega would go through a medical examination on Wednesday, PWInsider is reporting that Omega may be headed into surgery to fix his shoulder.

Omega had been the AEW World Heavyweight Champion since December of 2020 when he defeated then champion, Jon Moxley. Omega is also a former AEW Tag Team Champion.

This is the closest we've ever been to Hijo del Vikingo being the AAA champion, but I'm sure AAA won't go with it

Which sucks, because they need that kind of shot in the arm.

At the risk of sounding like Jim Cornette, thank god. Fact is, at this point, whilst I'm not his biggest fan in terms of ring-work, and I just don't get the hype around him... His AEW run has ultimately become stale and this is a good opportunity for him to go away, and maybe come back to try something different.

I think we're learning that a lot of the key players in AEW are people who are at their best when not left to their own devices.

100%, sadly the bucks are still about doing their same match every time bullshit, the sooner Adam Cole gets away from them the better and there are other ridiculous elements but all the new names coming in, who are to be taken seriously are showing up the silly bits of the card and it’s clear what the fans are preferring.
