Kenny Omega officially returned to AEW programming on this week’s AEW Dynamite, revealing himself as the surprise partner for The Young Bucks in the opening round of the AEW World Trios Championship tournament. Omega’s last match was at Full Gear last November when he dropped the AEW World Championship to Hangman Page. It was then revealed that Omega had been battling a number of injuries throughout his 2021 run as “The Belt Collector,” including issues with his shoulder and knee, a sports hernia and vertigo. He announced he’d be stepping away from TV for a while, then relinquished the last of his championships (the AAA Mega Championship) before undergoing surgery.
