Kenny Omega Needed to Buy ‘Clothes for Work’ in Japan During AEW Hiatus

Kenny Omega’s goal of winning the AEW World Tag Team titles with Chris Jericho hit a roadblock when he was diagnosed with diverticulitis, which required immediate surgery. This health issue forced him to take a break from wrestling and delay his plans. Recently, Omega mentioned that he went to Japan to buy some work clothes, hinting at his eventual in-ring return.

Omega made his first TV appearance since December on the May 1 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he updated fans on his recovery. Unfortunately, his return was interrupted when The Elite, along with The Young Bucks, Jack Perry, and Kazuchika Okada, attacked him, resulting in his temporary exit from the show.

Close friend and longtime partner Kota Ibushi confirmed that Omega has already begun training at his facility in Japan. A fan took to Twitter and told Kenny Omega that she said hi to him at Funabashi Lala Port recently. She mentioned she was so surprised and nervous that she felt like she came off as a creepy fan and apologized for bothering him. She also wished him a great holiday in Japan and hoped he had a lot of fun.

”i to you in Funabashi Lala port today. I was so surprised and nervous that I just ended up being a creepy fan…sorry for bothering you🥲 I hope you enjoy your holiday in Japan and have a lot of fun! Thank you☺️ @KennyOmegamanX”

Kenny Omega responded to the fan, as he told the fan not to worry, and that he was happy Japanese fans still remembered him. He added that it wasn’t really a trip, but more of a quick visit to buy some clothes for work, referring to purchasing new ring gear. It is to be noted that his ring gear maker resides in Japan as well.

”Don’t worry! I was happy that Japanese fans remembered me. It wasn’t really a trip, I just needed to buy some clothes for work 😅”

Kenny Omega is also going above and beyond for his in-ring returning training. Therefore, we will have to wait and see when The Best Bout Machine will make his triumphant return to AEW television, as fans definitely miss him.
