Report: AEW's Kenny Omega Likely Requires Shoulder Surgery
Omega could be out for a while
Nov 17, 2021
All Elite Wrestling could be without one of their top stars.
It emerged following the Full Gear pay-per-view that Kenny Omega had worked the event with an injured shoulder and The Best Bout Machine was struggling to lift weights. Omega noted all the way back in late 2020 that he was wrestling with a torn labrum but he was working with AEW trainers to avoid surgery.
In an update, Mike Johnson of PWInsider has noted the word going around is that Omega could be on the shelf for an extended period of time as he will likely need shoulder surgery. AEW are hoping to have clarity within the week and Omega will reportedly undergo a medical evaluation today.
Johnson also noted that Omega had been "badly banged up" when AEW launched in 2019 following a "gruelling run" in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Beyond his shoulder issue, Omega has suffered from a range of injuries during his Belt Collector run and the former AEW World Champion underwent a stem cell treatment earlier this year.
