The Young Bucks called Kenny Omega’s latest AEW World Championship win inspiring, in a story published by Undisputed. Omega began his second reign on July 8, beating MJF at the Beach Break edition of Dynamite, more than a year after diverticulitis threatened his life and career and kept him out of action.
Neither Matt nor Nick Jackson was at Beach Break, with Matt on a family vacation in Hawaii and Nick away with his family in Nevada, but both watched the match. Matt Jackson said he made sure he had a charged phone, cell service, and a spot to watch from in Hawaii.
“It was great to see Big Match Kenny do what he does best,” Matt said. “He creates an atmosphere that no other current wrestler can. When he’s in his element, there’s this inevitable feeling that you’re about to watch something that’ll be remembered forever.
“I was just super happy for him. He’s been through so much and to see him come back from a near-death experience to be at the top of the mountain again, it was truly inspiring.”
Omega defends the title against Kevin Knight at Redemption on Sunday. The Young Bucks face Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley at the same show.
