Former AEW Trios Champion Kenny Omega has made his first public appearance since being suspended by AEW following the fight after All Out.

All Out should have been a night for celebration for The Elite as Omega and The Young Bucks defeated Hangman Adam Page and The Dark Order to become the inaugural AEW Trios Champions. That win marked a remarkable moment for Kenny Omega as the star had previously missed nine months of action through injury before making his big return to compete in the tournament to crown Trios Champions.

The celebratory mood did not last long however as Omega found himself embroiled in a physical fight that came after CM Punk’s explosive comments at the post-show media scrum where he took issue with the likes of The Young Bucks and Adam Page.

Several reports have since suggested that Kenny Omega was bitten during the fight with one story claiming that Omega had tried to split up the fracas after ensuring CM Punk’s dog Larry was taken to safety.

All involved in the fight, both participants and those trying to break it up, have been suspended by AEW while an investigation takes place. The Elite have been stripped of the AEW Trios Championship while CM Punk has vacated the AEW World Championship – something that likely would have happened anyway due to injury.

Now Kenny Omega has been spotted for the first time since his suspension in a place that he is very familiar with – Tokyo, Japan. Japanese wrestling apparel company HAOMING sent out a video of Omega in their offices on social media and the belief is that the former New Japan star is in town for the Tokyo Game Show convention.
