All Elite Wrestling EVP Kenny Omega will likely be away from the company even longer than originally expected following ALL OUT.
Omega is currently suspended following his involvement in the backstage altercation involving CM Punk, The Young Bucks and Ace Steel.
According to a new report from Dave Meltzer in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, we now know that Omega will be away from television for some time.
Kenny Omega AEW Return
“Regarding the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, they all hadn’t heard anything from the company at least as of a few days ago” Meltzer revealed in the Observer.
“The company hasn’t and won’t address anything regarding pretty much anything these days on these type of subjects, but the belief is that their situation is on hold pending potential legal action, which unless cleared up, could delay things for some time and there is also a second hold up that hasn’t been made clear” Meltzer revealed.
“There is no direct comparison with WWE, but there have been numerous fights over the years” the writer concluded.
Losing Omega, Punk and The Young Bucks from television has had somewhat of a hit on the televised product, but AEW appears to actually be carrying on with solid ratings week on week.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens with this story and when Kenny Omega could actually return.
