At present, Kenny Omega is one of several AEW talents - and one of three AEW EVPs - currently serving a suspension from the company.

Of course, these suspensions are a direct result of what happened after All Out concluded last weekend. There, Omega and the Young Bucks had a backstage altercation with CM Punk that saw the EVPs, Christopher Daniels, Pat Buck, Michael Nakazawa and Brandon Cutler all now suspended by AEW, and producer Ace Steel taken off the road.

It's not known when these suspensions will be up, with a third party company now investigating this situation as AEW looks to decipher what exactly happened in the aftermath of All Out and, most importantly, in the aftermath of CM Punk's scathing media scrum comments directed towards Colt Cabana, 'Hangman' Adam Page and the aforementioned Executive Vice Presidents.
