Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada delivered another instant classic at AEW All In: Texas, with both the AEW International and Continental Titles on the line to crown the first-ever Unified Champion. While fans were locked in on every moment of the action, there was quiet concern backstage over Omegas physical condition heading into the matchand even more afterward.
Following their 30-minute war, fans feared the worst after seeing Omega take a flurry of hard bumps, including a brutal twisting Tombstone Piledriver and an avalanche Full Nelson Suplex off the top rope. But according to Fightfuls Sean Ross Sapp, Omega managed to make it through the epic showdown in one piece.
During a Q&A episode on Fightful Select, Sapp responded to fan concerns about Omegas condition after the match.
Sapp clarified that while several talents will likely miss some ring time due to minor issues, there was no indication of any long-term or serious injuries across the AEW roster coming out of All In: Texas. That includes Omega, whose participation had been in question leading into the event.
This update is especially reassuring after a match that saw Omega endure Rainmakers, V-Triggers, and outside interference from Don Callis, who pulled the referee out of the ring just as Omega had the match won. The chaotic finish led to Okada walking out with the Unified Championship, but fans were left just as concerned about Omegas body as they were the result.
Kenny Omega still looked like a war-torn veteran when the dust settled, but the good news is hes expected to recover just fine.
