AEW fans can expect Kenny Omega to return soon.
He was diagnosed with diverticulitis in December 2023. Omega was paired with Chris Jericho on AEW television when he was diagnosed. AEW was preparing for a match against Ricky Starks and Big Bill at the Worlds End pay-per-view event.
If the top star had not been diagnosed at the time, he could have died from a blood infection, which had a 50 percent chance of occurring. He was on the sidelines for months before having the surgery.
Omega has recently discussed his return. He last appeared on television when he was attacked by the faction, which added to The Elite storyline.
In the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer stated that “Omega is talking about his comeback as if it’s a thing, rather than a possibility, so it should be relatively soon. The idea all along has been to set up a fifth match with Kazuchika Okada.”
We wish him speedy recovery.
