Konnan says Kenny Omega couldn’t send video for Triplemania due to ‘legal issues’

Konnan says that Kenny Omega was prevented from sending a video to AAA for Triplemania due to “legal issues.” 

Omega is technically the number-one contender for El Hijo del Vikingo’s AAA Mega Championship but was not permitted to take part in this weekend’s Triplemania event. He continues to be suspended from AEW due to the backstage altercation he was involved in at All Out. The suspension prevents him from taking part in bookings outside the promotion as well. 

On the latest edition of his Keepin’ it 100 podcast, Konnan mentioned that he approached Omega about submitting a video to be played during the show but was told that was not possible. 

“I know there are some legal issues because I actually asked Kenny Omega if he could send me a video for Triplemania, whoever wins between Vikingo and Fenix because, you know, he’s the number one contender, and he goes, ‘I still can’t because of legal issues.’ So, there is something legal going on,” Konnan said. 

Last month, Konnan noted on his podcast that Omega’s suspension also prevented him from wrestling at Triplemania. 

Our own Dave Meltzer addressed possible legal issues stemming from the altercation at All Out in the October 3 edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. 

“Regarding the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, they all hadn’t heard anything from the company at least as of a few days ago,” he wrote.

Meltzer continued, “the belief is that their situation is on hold pending potential legal action, which unless cleared up, could delay things for some time and there is also a second hold up that hasn’t been made clear.”
