Kenny Omega returned to the ring last week on AEW Dynamite after being out of the ring for nine months, so how is his body feeling?
All Elite Wrestling‘s Kenny Omega was a guest on Busted Open Radio this morning with Dave LeGreca, Tommy Dreamer, and Mickie James. When asked about returning from injuries and how he’s feeling, Omega said he’s feeling good and compared getting back into the ring to riding a bike.
“Pretty good. It’s still a lot like riding a bike,” Kenny Omega said. “You know, getting back to the ring. So it wasn’t too long until I felt comfortable again. But it was a very unique scenario where I was getting back into the ring for the first time after a long hiatus against three incredibly talented luchadores. And as you know, every area of the world, every culture has their own take on wrestling and their own way that they go about performing professional wrestling.
“So to come back to a scenario where I’m not really doing conventional professional wrestling in North America, and I mean, there were luchadores and people of a high Lucha influence, it was a challenge. But it was very cool, very fun. I ended up coming out of it unscathed, which is nice. I didn’t bang up anything else. I didn’t get any inkling or feeling that there was something that wasn’t ready to be back. So as long as no red flags went up for me. I’m just going to keep easing back into things without letting off more than I can chew.”
Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks will be in action on the August 31 episode of Dynamite, facing Will Ospreay and Aussie Open in the AEW Trios Championship tournament semifinals.
