The Elite Doesn't Need Kenny Omega Anymore After Brutal Assault On Dynamite
Jack Perry has made it clear that The Elite no longer needs the services of Kenny Omega. A new era is upon us led by The Elite. They have made it clear that nobody is going to control AEW except for them. Yes, that includes Tony Khan, especially after what went down last week. On last night's Dynamite, Kenny Omega finally made his return in his hometown, Winnipeg, Canada. However, things didn't go well for 'The Cleaner' as he was brutally assaulted by The Elite members (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, Kazuchika Okada and Jack Perry). The assault continued backstage, as Omega was being stretchered away on the AEW Rampage that aired immediately following Dynamite.
In a Digital Exclusive, Jack Perry sent a stern message to the former AEW World Champion.
'The Scapegoat' mocked the Canadian wrestler by saying that it might be the last time he did his old moves in his hometown. Perry said that 'The Best Bout Machine' was not the hero they needed and he's only a "coward". He concluded his message by saying that The Elite doesn't need him anymore as they would change the world without him. He said:
"Kenny Omega, is this the best that you got? You know, you’re not as bad as you think you are. But I hope that you had fun, hitting all your old moves in your hometown for what’s probably the last time in your entire life. The thing that hurts me the most, Kenny, is that you were not the hero that we needed you to be. When it came down to it, you were a coward, like everybody else.
The truth is, The Elite doesn’t need you anymore. Neither does AEW. Because we are going to change the world without you. We all have to sacrifice, and you just made yours."
Fans might be thrilled to witness Kenny Omega back on television, but he's unlikely to wrestle anytime soon. He has been on the sidelines for several months while recuperating from diverticulitis. While uncertainty looms over surgery, Omega is fighting to make a comeback to the ring. During his promo on Dynamite, 'The Cleaner' divulged that his bout with Diverticulitis took a serious turn and the doctor informed him that fortunately, he was hospitalized in time or else he was potentially 24 hours from death.
Upon his return, Omega also had a face-off with his NJPW arch-nemesis Kazuchika Omega and told him to give him a few months before he could return. Well, AEW All In: London takes place on August 25 and these two could once again lock horns at the show - if he's medically cleared by then.
