AEW - All Elite Wrestling (*Spoilers for Latest Show*)

From f4wonline

Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega will have all of his various ailments and injuries that he has been working through checked out Wednesday, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Meltzer said Omega has been dealing with various injuries for several months but was determined to see the Hangman Page storyline come to completion which it did this past Saturday at Full Gear as he lost the title to Page.

Meltzer said after the evaluation, it will be determined if Omega will take a break from wrestling. Meltzer said Omega was going to take some time off at some point, but chose not to as he wanted to continue the storyline.

In a video released over the weekend by famous YouTube chiropractor and wrestling fan Beau Hightower, Omega said he has dealt with "bad" vertigo since 2018. He said it can get bad while he is wrestling and working while things are spinning is a new skill he has had to inherit.

Omega has wrestled 32 times in 2021, mostly in AEW with some Impact Wrestling and AAA appearances as well. That number is virtually identical to 2020 (34 times).

I'm a huge fan of Omega, there's a reason why he's best the world but I'm hoping he takes a big break to get all those injuries under control.

I think I'm ready for an Omega babyface run, where he can honestly just be himself. Assuming he gets healthy, of course.

And it's that side of him that really writes its own authentic babyface push as far as I'm concerned. A guy who leaves so much of himself in the ring, who just loves the business, giving back to the business and, when being himself, is also a likeable, relatable guy.

Assuming he can actually get healthy enough to work again, I'd integrate worked injuries into his push. He could have the killer matches with guys like Miro, MJF and (hopefully heel) Cody, but they can ultimately win the match by capitalizing on the worked injuries. They get more heat, he gets more sympathy, until you hopefully have him overcome the odds and dethrone a top heel that you build up, maybe Punk?

Hook an MJF-Punk feud to my veeeins.

Did anyone expect him to come straight in and win the company's second title in his first match in fairness? It was just a good storyline way of booking him straight into an upper mid level position with no build up / intro.

I've seen this guy wrestle about twice, 10 years ago, on TNA. Lots of other viewers will never have heard of him. It would have been weird him coming in and beating someone they've been building since day one of the company, banged up or not.

Bryan's heel turn came out as very rushed. I know why they did it but it didn't work particularly well.

I probably would have kept Bryan Danielson face until he faced Hangman Page for the AEW World Championship, but after a long arduous battle, Hangman beats Bryan and retains the title. Bryan out of frustration refuses to shake Hanman's hand and instead gives him a Roundhouse Kick. After that Bryan become more heelish, ruthless, and aggressive. He could be like Chris Benoit in 2000 when he was a ruthless heel who would often torment his opponents in the ring like how he would keep the Crippler Crossface locked in even after the match ended.

Meltzer reporting that Omega will have to under go multiple surgeries.

I thought the Punk and Page segments were great.

I do not think Page will lose the title anytime soon, it is too early.

Oh very interesting backstage news at AEW

The Briscoe Brothers and former ROH women wrestlers were back stage during dynamite

Surely they'll have to let some people go eventually? They never seem to. Though I guess many of the Dark and Elevation only regulars are probably not on full time contracts anyway.

I wonder how far MJF would be willing to go with CM Punk in terms of promos. He's got a lot of material to use like Punk's MMA career, his wife AJ Lee, or if he really wanted to poke that bear, bringing up his strained friendship with Colt Cabana.

Johnny Dynamite or Johnny Rampage to arrive in 90 days?

Few of the ROH women wrestled on Dark. Adora wrestled Riho apparently, and it's pretty much a tryout if you're wrestling Riho or Shida.

I thought the Briscoes would be passed up due to some of the stuff they've said in the past but seems theyve made turned a corner there, so if there's no backstage heat there, they'd be good signings (Briscoes vs FTR will be a classic)

She has a great look and young as well, I'd say they will all be keen to sign her. If she's smart she'll play them off against each other for the best offer.

The Butcher flew especially to get the sh1t kicked out of himself by Ishii :)

Yeah i'd keep morrison a mile away they've much better than him that do the same kind of stuff there already

Billy Gunn is 58!

Obviously says his prayers and takes his vitamins.

Only in North America? KO, Briscoes, and just for the heck of it, O'Reilly

Anyone but O'Reilly. I can't stand him.
