Kenny Omega is currently on the sidelines due to injuries that needed to be surgically repaired. He’s been away since November after dropping the World Title to Adam Page at the Full Gear pay-per-view event.
AEW President Tony Khan recently spoke with PWInsider and during it, he commented on Omega. He put over Omega for being one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and a dominant champion. He said he personally misses Omega being around. Khan stated that Omega is healing from various injuries and was really beat up when he was wrestling.
“Now it’s time for him to rehabilitate and heal and he’s going to come back stronger, and come back, I hope as good or even better than ever. I really believe the stuff he did while he was physically limited was so impressive. I think he was absolutely the wrestler of the year for 2021. And I’m very excited for Kenny Omega’s return in 2022. It’ll be a long time coming and we’d be excited to have him back.”
Khan continued by saying Omega was putting himself through grueling matches every week while dealing with injuries and never took time off.
