#2 Kazuchika Okada rekindles rivalry with Kenny Omega in AEW

Kazuchika Okada breaking the hinges of the forbidden door to renew his old feud with Kenny Omega in AEW would be a feel-good moment for wrestling fans.

Taking a trip down memory lane to 2017-18, Okada and Omega produced a series of classic matches that even prompted wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer to break his five-star rating system. It's worth noting that The Cleaner ended The Rainmaker's longest reign with the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at 720 days.

Although both men culminated their feud then and there, the swift rise of AEW and its partnership with NJPW have sent fans into a frenzy to see various dream matches.

A previous report from Dave Meltzer suggested that Kazuchika Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi could soon make their debuts in Tony Khan's promotion. With Chaos member Tomohiro Ishii all set to make his Dynamite debut, fans are wondering if Okada could stun the AEW Universe down the road.

If that happens, an immediate feud with Omega could send blow roofs off any building.


#1 Kenny Omega takes time off from AEW programming

Is it finally time for Kenny Omega to take a much-needed break from pro wrestling? Let's face it, yes.

It is safe to assume that carrying world titles in three different promotions - AAA, AEW, and IMPACT Wrestling - has put a toll on his body over the last year. At just 38-years years old, he has been dealing with stomach infections, some wear and tear on his knees, and bone bruises near his tailbone.

Not just that, but a recent report suggests that Omega will soon undergo a medical check-up as he's been suffering from vertigo.

He even wrestled at Full Gear with a shoulder injury, and who knows, maybe his entire reign with the title as well. With an unending list of health issues, it makes sense for the company to send him on an indefinite hiatus from AEW programming.

Not only would it give Omega a deserving break to deal with the said injuries, but it would also help prolong his wrestling career.
