#5 Best/Worst: Kenny Omega officially announces an indefinite hiatus from AEW programming
Former #AEW World Champion @KennyOmegamanX has some things to fix after his loss to @theAdamPage and he can't do it here. Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE NATIONWIDE on @tntdrama NOW! https://t.co/Vf7OXPwf5d
Ever since Kenny Omega lost his AEW World Championship last week, several reports have surfaced suggesting he has been working with an ongoing injury. PWInsider reported that The Cleaner might undergo shoulder surgery, which could put him out of the in-ring competition for the foreseeable future.
Tonight, Omega officially announced that he would be taking an indefinite hiatus to get some things fixed. Tony Khan's promotion did a formidable job in taking him off the AEW programming.
On a positive note, seeds seem to have been planted for a future rift between The Elite. Kenny Omega asked The Young Bucks to 'hold down the fort,' but Adam Cole initiated taking care of the business.
Hallelujah! Kenny Omega is getting surgery.
Take all the time you need, talk about a well earned hiatus.
AEW will be without both Moxley and Omega, but they'll be fine and I'm much more worried about the boys getting healthy.
It is crystal clear that the former NXT Champion will be eyeing to take control of the faction in Omega's absence, which will create dissension with The Cleaner whenever he returns.
Regardless of what happens, his indefinite hiatus is another big blow for AEW, especially after Jon Moxley decided to take time off to deal with alcohol addiction. Both men are All Elite Wrestling's box-office attraction, and the company might find it challenging to fill their spots.
