Kenny Omega Worked AEW Full Gear With A Shoulder Injury

According to a new report from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, former AEW Champion Kenny Omega worked his match against Hangman Page at Full Gear with a shoulder injury.

Meltzer noted that Omega was working out with a lot less weight than usual ahead of the match. He said:

“I don’t know if he has no strength. but he can’t lift heavy weights with them — I don’t even know if he can lift with them. The last time we were talking about it, he said he was able to lift the bar. So it’s 45 pounds. He’s told me, ‘I can work a match without my shoulders.’”

To translate what Dave is saying, Kenny told him that he has injured shoulders, but that he felt he could work a good match without using them too much.

It isn’t clear whether this injury had any impact on the result of the match, but from everything Tony Khan has said since Hangman won the belt, it’s safe to assume Kenny Omega was going to drop the belt regardless of any injuries.

We’ll have to see if the injury affects Kenny’s booking going forward.
