Kenny Omega has been having one heck of a year in 2017. He has been putting on some incredible matches around the globe. Unfortunately, it looks like he has hit a small speed bump on the road. Omega has apparently suffered a knee injury that will force him to miss several shows over the next few weeks.
Here is the statement from New Japan Pro Wrestling’s English website:
“Due to an injury sustained to his left knee’s lateral meniscus, Kenny Omega will not appear in matches between 9/7 and 9/22. We apologize to all fans who were looking forward to those matches. Wrestling in his place will be Leo Tonga. The son of legendary pro-wrestler King Haku, Leo will join his brothers Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa in the ring. Please refer to the below list of events to view the updated match lineups”
Unfortunately, I’ll have to take a short break. Hold the fort, Leo Tonga. See you in Kobe.

The good news is that it sounds like he will only be out for a couple of weeks. Hopefully his recovery goes as planned and he is able to get back into the ring soon!
