Top AEW Star Taking Time Off After Full Gear

He has earned the break. AEW has come a very long way in its short history and there is nothing to suggest that they are going to slow down anytime soon. Things got picked up in a big way again over the weekend with Full Gear, which saw the crowning of a new World Champion. That is quite the changing of the guard, but it might be an even bigger one than you thought.

The main event of Full Gear saw Hangman Page defeating Kenny Omega to become the new AEW World Champion. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Omega was always planning to take time off as soon as he lost the title. There is no word on how long Omega will be out of action, though he is said to also be suffering from vertigo. It is not clear if the vertigo is the reason for Omega taking time off.

Omega has put in the work. Check out some of the things he did as AEW World Champion:

Opinion: Omega might not be the most popular wrestler in the world at times, but he certainly is one of the most prominent in AEW today. It is going to be a bit of a hit to the company to not have him around for the time being, but he probably needs the rest after nearly a year as champion. This is a good time for him to do it as well, as AEW has a pretty well stocked cabinet at the moment.

What do you think of Omega’s time as champion? What should he do when he gets back? Let us know in the comments below.
