Kenny Omega is arguably the top dog in pro-wrestling today. The IWGP World Champion recently held an NJPW event in the States in collaboration with CEO. The event went well until some of the fans noted that one of the wrestlers on the show has had cases of sexual offence against him in the past.
This enraged a lot of fans and hence they started pointing fingers at the Cleaner on Twitter. Omega quickly took to his Twitter to defend himself and provided his followers with an explanation about the situation.
Here it is: I produced all matches from dark match #2 on.I gave the ring crew (also a wrestling school) carte Blanche to have our first dark. No entrances,no name graphics. And thus they had a match. I met Chasyn once in 2004 so his name was familiar. The other guy I’d never met.

Omega then went on to issue an apology for his oversight as a booker. He vowed to not repeat such an error once again and that he’d look into the wrestlers’ details before booking them on the show.
Big thanks to all that made #CEOxNJPW possible, but I wanted to address a terrible oversight on my part, in depth, for all to read. pic.twitter.com/JKBiqcuzGK
