Kenny Omega has been on a previously scheduled trip to Japan following his AEW suspension, and some of his battle scars were shown off on social media.

On Sunday, September 18, a Capcom video was published, highlighting the bite mark as a result of Ace Steel from the Brawl Out situation. We've learned that video was actually filmed almost a week prior, so the wound would have been as of a week after the bite itself. When going back to look at the photos Kota Ibushi posted with Omega, you could also see the bite on his left forearm.

Those that we've spoken to that saw Omega in Japan, said that the bite was "unmistakable." He wasn't prominently featuring his left forearm in many pictures or videos during the first week of his Japan trip. Another source who was around the backstage area after Brawl Out said that it looked "disgusting" after it happened, and Omega was very verbal in indicating he'd been bitten. Both sides of the story we heard from included Omega being bitten, with one neutral party saying there was no way around admitting that much happened considering the visible evidence.

As mentioned on Select this week, Omega was always scheduled to miss the September 14 Dynamite to go on the trip.

Despite being at Capcom, we can confirm that Kenny Omega has not turned into a zombie and was not in any Resident Evil-related danger.
