Kenny Omega and Adam Cole injury updates from the AEW president.
Adam Cole and Kenny Omega are both on the current AEW injury list. For Omega, he has had several procedures to repair damage from multiple injuries. For Cole, he had a torn labarum injury and is now reportedly suffering with a concussion related injury.
AEW president Tony Khan gave updates on the two stars while speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post.
“I’m always concerned whenever a wrestler has an injury, but in Kenny Omega’s case he carried the load through more injuries than probably anyone I’ve seen in terms of working through a sustained period where he was limited and still having great matches in the ring, and also doing great box office for the company as a great champion. It is a little bit different because you’re dealing with multiple injuries as opposed to one injury. I’m optimistic. I don’t want to put a timetable on it. I’m still optimistic Kenny’s coming back,” he said. “I think it’s gonna go well. I think he’s gonna be OK. I don’t know when and I’m optimistic. Nobody can put themselves in his shoes, but I feel good about it. I’m gonna talk more to him too. I know he’s been through a lot but I know he’s still trying to get back.”

On the flip side, Khan would then address Adam Cole’s injury setback.
“He had no contact between “Double or Nothing” and “Forbidden Door.” He was on commentary. He had been cleared to wrestle. So now I’m also gonna take some time [off] for him. We had already taken some time and I’ll take some more time make sure he’s right and wouldn’t want him to wrestle until he’s feeling 100 percent. He was feeling 100 percent going into “Forbidden Door.” That’s how unpredictable these are.”

Time will tell when the pair will return to the ring, but at this time there is no timetable set for either of the two members of The Undisputed Elite.
