Kenny Omega has been making occasional appearances in the Jacksonville-based promotion since losing the Continental and International unification title match to Kazuchika Okada at All In back in August. This is because the Cleaner is managing his health better, having dealt with diverticulitis. Next weekend at Full Gear 2025, the Best Bout Machine will team with Jurassic Express to face Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks, with the winner taking home $1 million. Last Saturday on Collision, Alexander attacked Omega's close friend, Michael Nakazawa, to send The Cleaner a message before their pay-per-view clash.

Top AEW star calls Kenny Omega his pro wrestling mentor

Many people know that Kenny Omega is one of the most generous performers in the wrestling industry and enjoys good relationships with many talents in All Elite Wrestling. This includes Konosuke Takeshita, who recently called the Best Bout Machine his wrestling mentor.

Speaking in a recent interview with Encount, the Japanese star stated that Omega brought him to the Jacksonville-based promotion and encouraged him to wrestle in America.

"I reached out to Kenny Omega, who is my pro wrestling mentor, for the first time in years, asking if I could get a match in All Elite Wrestling, even if it was just a dark match. Kenny said, ‘I'll put in a good word for you,’ and encouraged me, saying, ‘A TV match right away is impossible, but if a dark match is okay, why not give it a shot?’ That's how I decided to go to America," Takeshita said.

It will be interesting to see whether Kenny Omega and the Jurassic Express walk away with $1 million at Full Gear 2025.
