- After retaining the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Kenny Omega tweeted out that he'll be healing up not only himself, but some of his relationships after taking on both Cody Rhodes and Kota Ibushi at King of Pro-Wrestling.
It's finally time to rest and recuperate. I have time to heal and rebuild my body, but more importantly I need to repair the damage done today to relationships. We'll all be okay. The best is yet to come for the #GoldenLovers and #theelite . I won't lose Ibushi again.
