AEW Scrapped Plans for Major Kenny Omega Match After Injury

TLDR

AEW had plans for a Golden Lovers reunion match featuring Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi that was scrapped due to Ibushi's broken femur injury, according to Nick Jackson's revelation on Being The Elite. The planned tag match was reworked into a six-man tag to compensate for Ibushi's absence, marking the first public confirmation that a Golden Lovers return was officially scheduled for AEW. Ibushi has posted recovery updates showing progress in his rehab, stating that while doctors initially said he would need up to two years to return to competition, his recovery may not require that full timeframe.
