Massive update on Kenny Omega's potential return at AEW Double or Nothing 2022
Kenny Omega has attended every Double or Nothing PPV since 2019. But according to Dave Meltzer, the former AEW World Champion will have to miss this year's show.
In a May 19th report, PWInsider noted that according to an inside source, Kenny Omega has resumed his backstage responsibilities. The Best Bout Machine has been out of action since 2021 to recover from multiple injuries. Fans continue to clamor for his eventual return.
According to Dave Meltzer, even though Kenny Omega is recovering, the healing has been slow. Due to this, the former World Champion will, unfortunately, miss this year's AEW Double or Nothing.
“He said he’s resigned to the fact that physically he will never be 100 percent, but he is looking at reversing some of the physical damage and being able to return and this time off and fixing up his different injuries would extend his time as an effective pro wrestler,” Meltzer said.
