Kenny Omega’s last match took in November 2021 when he dropped the AEW World Champion to Adam Page. And since then, he has been focusing on recovering from the multiple injuries he has been working through over the years, including a torn labrum, hernia, knee issues, neck issues, and even vertigo. Now though, despite him recently disclosing he has experienced setbacks with his rehab, Fightful Select has provided an update on his potential return. Reporting that AEW is potentially planning for him to return to the ring in time for September’s All Out pay-per-view, with him set to work alongside longtime friends The Young Bucks.
Fightful Select has learned that the tentative plans that certain staff was made aware of was that Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks were slated for a 6-man tag program for September’s All Out PPV. We’ve yet to confirm this with AEW officials, and anything could change, as is the nature of pro wrestling.
It’s been known since AEW launched that the company aimed to introduce a trios tag championship. So it would be fitting if the AEW originals of Omega and the Young Bucks were the first champions if that is indeed AEW’s intention. Of course, multiple other combinations, including CM Punk and FTR, would also be worthy champions. Still, only Omega’s harshest critics would begrudge him for winning gold after everything he put his body through in recent years.
