Update on Kenny Omega’s Recovery from Diverticulitis – Kenny Omega has been out of action for several months after undergoing surgery following a diagnosis of diverticulitis, which he announced in December 2023. Despite making a few appearances on television to advance The Elite’s storyline, Omega has primarily focused on his recovery.
During a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, it was reported that there is still no clear timetable for Omega’s return to the ring. However, it was revealed that when the former AEW World Heavyweight Champion is ready to make his comeback, he will be joined by Kota Ibushi, who has also been sidelined with an injury.
Omega is reportedly back in the gym and working out, signaling that he is taking steps toward his eventual return, though the exact timing remains uncertain.
Dave Meltzer said, “He’s (Ibushi) coming back to AEW. Basically, when Kenny Omega returns, he’s (Ibushi) returning. He’s under contract and everything like that. He basically said that he’s under contract there, and he’s waiting for Omega to return for him to return. I don’t even know if there is a date on when Omega will return…put it this way…..I don’t think it’s so far away as before when I would talk about it and go, like I don’t want to think about it, it’s a long ways away. He’s getting better, I know that.”
Bryan Alvarez said, “Apparently, he’s been in the gym, yeah, so that’s good.”
Meltzer added, “Yeah, I looked up the surgery that he had, usually for a wrestler it’s about a four-month recovery, so a lot of wrestlers push it and probably come back quicker. So that would be mid-September, but he had a lot…he didn’t just have the hernia problem. He had a lot of different problems. But, like I said, he is coming back. That’s pretty much the word. I don’t think it’s like months and months away. I don’t want to say this because I feel stupid saying it because he has not told me anything in this regard but just the vibe I have is it’ll be before the end of the year.”
