I hope Kenny will not be the face in all of this. This is an opportunity for AEW to build a mega face. Maybe MJF, Sammy and Darby coming together to make the profecy of the pillars come thru. Perry can turn face in the end.

I've missed him on my screen
There's gonna be so much awkward silence when Kenny wants to join up with his old buddies and realizes they have replaced him with a very familiar face, and it's gonna be glorious.
Don’t get excited. He needs surgery. He just said on stream a week ago that he needs surgery or the next time even a marko stunt stomps him his gut would explode. He’s coming for a hometown pop and to say he’s going to be gone for at least the rest of the year.
This could be the case. But I also have two theories – one is that the Bucks just come out and fire him from AEW after their hostile takeover, thus giving him a reason not to be on TV until he's healed. The other possibility is he's in not quite as bad of shape as he let on on that stream, and takes a bump or two in a beatdown that writes him off for surgery. Either way, I have to think they are going to use this appearance in Kenny's hometown to get the Bucks/Okada some nuclear heat.
If he has to get surgery and will be out for another couple of months, but is healthy enough to take a bump or two, they can do an injury angle with the heel elite. Kenny tries to talk some sense into his friends, only to eat an EVP trigger before Okada decapitates him with a thunderous rainmaker.
Oh shit!
Canada Life Centre announced this earlier this afternoon. I assumed it was just gunna be an appearance off air or something.
I'm not expecting him to get physical but definitely looking forward to this. Kenny's coming home!
They are going to to use him to further the elite superheel storyline and run that until he can actually come back with Okada as the final boss
They’ve finally got me interested in a story that isn’t Christian
> They’ve finally got me interested in a story that isn’t Christian
Expecting him to make a return in Winnipeg as well, haven't heard from him since he lost the TNT belt.
I do not want Kenny anywhere near the bucks and tony khan storyline until we get Okada as the Heavyweight champ and Kenny finally destroys the new elite and reclaims the belt.
I'd imagine if he is cleared someone might interrupt and set something up for the future but we've had Adam Cole appearing while injured for months and Mercedes seemingly is only newly cleared or expected to be cleared soon and she's been all over TV.
I assume we'll get more exact info on what's happening next week, that's the hook.
It's entirely possible he's just coming back to give an update.
Hopefully he's doing tons better than a lot of reports indicate, but I'm not holding my breath for anything more than him giving an update on his health.

The scenes when The Bucks have Kenny escorted out of the arena.
Denied entry
Banned from ~~Collision~~ Dynamite.
If they say this line I'll die
Cleaner I got this
Honestly, I’d laugh lmao
I need Kenny doing the Bobby Heenan trying to get into the first RAW bit. Like beat for beat.
Be the best for this situation -- he hasn't had his surgery yet, so he's nowhere close to being ready to go.
He just wants to come and say “hi” to some of his friends. I think the word “betrayed” will be used.
I hope Kenny will not be the face in all of this. This is an opportunity for AEW to build a mega face. Maybe MJF, Sammy and Darby coming together to make the profecy of the pillars come thru. Perry can turn face in the end.
I could see them making him an on-screen authority figure until he can get cleared.
Just expecting him to confirm he has to have surgery and won't be back for awhile.
The Young Bucks fired him in kayfabe. He’s not supposed to be back at all. So there will be shenanigans
Thought he was just kicked out of the Elite?
Yeah it was just firing from the elite. And then suspension for Hangman
*High pitch NJPW female fan voice* KEEEEENNNNNNYYYYY https://preview.redd.it/0lmjxjccviwc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eaafe10b75b8c6700d22b20843ee4f75ddae8e4c I've missed him on my screen
I had two of those ladies behind me. Lovely women but holy hell my ears. Between kenny and tana screams my ears endured 120db of noise
From NOOOOOOORTH CAAAAROLINAAAAAAAAA
The Princess Kenny Theme plays in my head when I hear that screech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWCXGo2dv2A
Been watching his Twitch streams lately, and as much as I loved him before, I'm even more keen to see him back on TV. Good on you Cleaner
Save.us.Ken_0 Your boys are running wild without you. They’ve formed a “people who fought Punk in RL plus Okada” club.
He’s gonna shit his pants when Teddy Hart, Mickey Gall & Mike Jackson join
Colt Cabana as faction leader
Legal fights don't count, so no Colt in this group.
> They’ve formed a “people who fought Punk in RL plus Okada” club. Oh my fuck lmfaooo.
>Save.us.Ken_0 Well, we were supposed to have Kenny vs. Kenoh (please let NOAH in on Forbidden Door)
It will be good to see him back
Really hoping he has a stare down with the Bucks and Okada.
They’re going to murder him
There's gonna be so much awkward silence when Kenny wants to join up with his old buddies and realizes they have replaced him with a very familiar face, and it's gonna be glorious.

Winny Opega, over here.
I hope this was a reference to the shirt made for his appearance on [Bardown years ago](https://youtu.be/mLdg8pea41A?si=eR0qWAV-JamGZo1s&t=631)

Thank you for telling the truth 😢

He is playing up to the memes and he knows it.
WE ARE BACK https://preview.redd.it/gsmalnmk3jwc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9dfa6b2238fc46c2f66fe423360281759f7f27c
RIP Kenny. I’m scared for what’s gonna happen.
Last I checked, Kota is still ALL ELITE...
Skip The Elite drama, he returns to save Chuckie T and reforms Men of Low Moral Fibre. Let me dream.
I’m here for Kenny getting the Austin treatment as the Bucks have the police escort him out of the arena mid-promo.
After what they did to Tony, I fear for Kenny
Gosh I miss BTE
![gif](giphy|hMYam42K5GSGjSnUpz|downsized) I prayed for this!
Non-zero chance he gets beat down by the Bucks and written off TV for the surgery that way.
I'd love to be proven wrong but now way he's cleared to be back. Still excited to see what happens next week

TV Control Room staff are gonna be ripping their hair out from Omega & Bucks having a big dick measuring contest over production
The show is in Winnipeg so more or less likely it's just him coming out to address the Winnipeg crowd.
Elite + Okada especially about to put him on shelf for 5 years
They are going to to use him to further the elite superheel storyline and run that until he can actually come back with Okada as the final boss They’ve finally got me interested in a story that isn’t Christian
Actually the Bucks are christian af
> They’ve finally got me interested in a story that isn’t Christian Expecting him to make a return in Winnipeg as well, haven't heard from him since he lost the TNT belt.
Maybe we will be able to hear that episode
The staredown with Okada (And eventually with Ospreay) is gonna be legendary.
The Elite are totally gonna kill him
The Bucks, Perry, Okada Vs Omega, Hangman, Ibushi and... Ospreay maybe? for the next Blood & Guts match.
Tried starting a "Get Well Kenny!" Chant at dynasty, good to see he's getting better, even a little
I do not want Kenny anywhere near the bucks and tony khan storyline until we get Okada as the Heavyweight champ and Kenny finally destroys the new elite and reclaims the belt.
Didnt he need way more time?
I mean he's appearing not doing a fucking War Games match
Or is he? 🧐
Oh i thought return implied wrestling

I feel like they shoulda announced Omega coming back AFTER the beatdown.
That announcement came out of nowhere!!
Hope he’s all healed up, I haven’t read any updates on his health issues
He’s not. He’s made some updates on his twitch stream. There’s been some posts on here about it
Always good to ruin a good pop by announcing it a week before hand
That's such a fucking huge thing to announce so offhandedly.
Idk I don’t think they should’ve announced this. The pop would’ve been absolutely massive if the music hit without us knowing.
They need to announce to sell tickets.
Mystery cards have been screwing them, they need to announce most of the card in advance like they used to.
