Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks are back in AEW as of Full Gear, and they’re ready to put their post-All Out altercation with CM Punk and subsequent suspensions behind them. Not only that, but they’re encouraging fans to do the same.
AEW has never spoken publicly about what happened after All Out, and as Omega told Justin Barrasso of SI, no one is ever likely to get into the specifics of that night. With that in mind, Omega is suggesting that fans take the advice of the famous song from “Frozen” when it comes to all the behind the scenes drama.
“There are things no one can talk about, so I’d encourage people to let it go,” Omega said. “It doesn’t change that we want a team effort in AEW. I don’t even mean implicitly myself and my opponent. It also means the referee, the fans, the people who set up the ring, everyone — even a technical error can ruin the memory of a match. I can refer back to the exploding barbed wire death match. So I encourage people to move away from it because there is no information to be released. Though I cannot talk about it, I do want the fans to know I still want the best for pro wrestling.”
Omega’s point could very well apply to wrestling fans as a whole. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that even when there are personality clashes and other issues, wrestlers are ultimately working in a collaborative effort to entertain people.
“This isn’t Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks against CM Punk,” Omega said. “It is people trying to show off their craft. You can boo Kenny Omega, or the Young Bucks, or CM Punk, but I hope people don’t forget we’re human beings struggling to show our art.”
Omega and the Bucks will get another chance to show off their craft this Wednesday night on AEW Dynamite, when they will take on Death Triangle in the second match of their best-of-seven series for the AEW World Trios Championship.
