Dave Meltzer reported on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that top AEW star Kenny Omega is expected to return to the company soon. This news is significant for AEW, especially since several key wrestlers are currently sidelined due to injuries.
Among those out of action are Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland. Additionally, Toni Storm is reportedly taking some time off, as suggested by Harley Cameron on last Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite. Adam Copeland also announced that he would be taking time off during a segment with Christian Cage as he is set to film the next season of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.“
Omega's last appearance for AEW was on the September 3rd episode of Dynamite, where he was stretchered out after receiving a brainbuster on the apron from Kyle Fletcher. He later confirmed that he had planned this time off for specialized hospital visits and work he had arranged a year in advance.
