Kenny Omega said his wrestling career is coming to an end ahead of AEW All In

Ahead of All In, Kenny Omega had weighed in on his current status as a pro-wrestler. The former International Champion, who returned to action earlier this year after battling severe diverticulitis, stated that there isn't much time left before his in-ring career comes to an end.

Speaking on the Wrestling Observer Radio, The Cleaner said:

"Now that I’m getting up there and my performances will be a little more limited in amount..it’s like chipping away at what’s left, and there isn’t much left. So I want to make sure that what is left, the meat that’s still on the bone, that it’s good tasting meat, you know? Hopefully." [H/T - Ringside News]
