"Not where he wanted to be" - WWE legend makes bold claim regarding Kenny Omega's return to AEW Dynamite
Kenny Omega's return to AEW might not be the best thing for him right now, according to WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray.
One of the biggest stories this week was The Cleaner returning to in-ring action. Although his re-entry was heavily teased by the Young Bucks earlier, many fans were still shocked to see him enter the AEW squared circle after months of absence.
However, Omega's return is apparently a risky move, according to Bully Ray. Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, the WWE legend had the following to say:
"Maybe a little too soon for Kenny [Omega] to be back? I asked you guys before the show if you have ever seen Kenny wrestle with a shirt on, you both said no so obviously physique-wise not where he wanted to be. Had that shoulder brace thingy on, still a little banged up. With Kenny being such a huge part of AEW, don't wanna put him in any kinda situations where he could re-injure himself quickly, or one injury leads to another. But he was back, people were super excited to see him." (21:50 - 22:22)
