Kenny Omega update following AEW All In

Following his loss to Kazuchika Okada at All In, Kenny Omega might be slated for some time off.

Fightful reports that AEW sources have told them Omega is expected to take some time off from AEW, but it isn’t known if his absence will be consecutive or if he’ll sporadically be away. Omega is coming off losing the AEW Continental Championship to Okada in their unification match last Saturday.

Okada is now the AEW Unified Champion after defeating Omega. While that new championship has been introduced, the lineages of the Continental and International titles will still exist individually going forward.

All In was the first time legendary rivals Omega and Okada have faced each other in a singles match on U.S. soil. The win by Okada evens their record at 2-2-1 during their feud, which dates back to when they first faced off for NJPW in 2017.

On Dynamite this week, there was a segment where Don Callis claimed that Omega is “dead” following All In.

Another top AEW star — Will Ospreay — is also slated for some time off after competing at All In. The next major event for AEW is the promotion’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view with NJPW in London on August 24.
