He'll Be Back: Here's Why Kenny Omega Has Been Missing From AEW TV

The international slowdown. There are all kinds of wrestling stars from around the world and several of them appear on national television on a regular basis.

One of AEW’s biggest stars is having just that problem at the moment and it could be a bit before he is back.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Kenny Omega is currently dealing with a visa issue that is keeping him off AEW TV. Omega has not appeared on the last two weeks of Dynamite and was said to have “badly” wanted to be on the Jay Briscoe tribute show. AEW is hoping that Omega will be able to return on February 1 but that is yet to be guaranteed so far.

Opinion: This is one of those problems that happens on occasion and there is little that can be done to stop it. Omega is going to have to wait on the issue to clean itself up and that is about all he can do. This is an issue for almost every international star and while it can be annoying, it is something that should be able to be fixed up without much trouble. Just sit it out and let things get better, which Omega and AEW seem to understand.
