>>9181365A mix of things really:
>VISA issuesHe was gone for a while and off tv as were the lucha bros
>In the trios divisionTrios was to help Kenny get back in ring shape post injuries. At first they were telling the ELITE v Dark Order/Hangman saga. Now they're not doing anything due to Kenny's contract status and alleged issues with Tony Khan.
>Contract statusAllegedly he's fighting the injury time that was added on, some people said he's pulling a Mox and working not under contract (I doubt that part) - If he is having contract problems I can see why TK wouldn't want him in any big spots.
>Tony Khan beefTony Khan kinda dicked over Shida a few times and Kenny was pissed about that.
>ALL OUT 2021 shitTony Khan loves CM PUNK, we've all talked about this shit forever. We know the deal. Punk is still under contract and might be returning.
>His heart is in JapanPersonally I think the dude just doesn't want to be in AEW anymore. Listen to him on Swerve's podcast and Mox's wife podcast - It's clear he's kinda mentally checked outl.
>Other starsThis is the BIG one. Kenny is cool with Mox, Danielson, Jericho etc. Post ALL OUT fight those guys became the locker room leaders and shit plus faces of the company. The Blackpool Combat Club is the big faction now along with JAS. Not saying the ELITE isn't needed but they're not the only show in town now.
