Concerns Grow Over Kenny Omega’s Health Amid Reports of “Very Serious Pain” – Concerns have emerged regarding the health of AEW star Kenny Omega following a new report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. According to Dave Meltzer, the former AEW World Champion is currently “battling very serious pain,” raising fresh questions about his long-term status.
The exact nature or cause of the pain has not been disclosed, but the timing of the report is notable, coming just days after Omega competed at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door in London. Omega took part in the main event Lights Out Steel Cage Match, where he and his team walked away with the victory in a ten-man showdown.
Omega’s condition is particularly concerning given his recent medical history. In late 2023, he was forced to step away from wrestling after being diagnosed with diverticulitis, a serious intestinal illness that required surgery. His recovery kept him sidelined until the summer of 2024, when he made his long-awaited return to AEW. Since then, Omega’s presence has been pivotal, adding top-tier star power back to the company’s roster.
While the report did not state whether Omega’s latest health issue is connected to his previous illness, the description of “very serious pain” has sparked speculation among fans and raised worries about how it might impact his in-ring future. Omega remains one of AEW’s cornerstone talents, and any setback could significantly affect the company’s creative direction.
At this stage, no further details have been made public, and AEW has not issued an official statement on Omega’s condition. For now, fans and colleagues alike will be hoping that the issue proves manageable and that Omega can continue his celebrated career without another extended hiatus.
