Kenny Omega Only Wrestling ‘Important Matches’ Due To Multiple Injuries

Dave Meltzer has noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is only having Kenny Omega wrestle “important matches” as a result of various injuries he is dealing with right now.

Meltzer pointed out that AEW higher-ups don’t want to “waste” Omega matches because “he’s too banged up” right now, having the following to say on the matter:

“They’re not wasting Kenny Omega matches, he’s too banged up. He’s only wrestling important matches. If Kenny Omega was wrestling every single week you could do that (have him get pinned in a tag match to build a challenger), and you could do that. They’re not going to though. Just for that reason, they’re not wasting Kenny Omega matches right now.”

This comes after it was reported that Kenny Omega is dealing with so many nasty injuries right now that the AEW World Champion has days where he considers retiring, which you can read more about by clicking here.

Speaking of Omega, it has emerged that despite the fact he’s the promotion’s top heel right now, AEW is planning on turning him into its top babyface, which you can also read more about by clicking here.
