Kenny Omega, the popular AEW wrestler and Executive Vice President, is facing some hurdle in his return to the ring. Diagnosed with diverticulitis in December 2023, Omega has been sidelined for months and may now require surgery. ## While an official decision hasn't been made, reports from Dave Meltzer suggest surgery is becoming increasingly likely. Omega himself has experienced persistent pain and doctors are leaning towards this option for a full recovery and return to wrestling. ## This news comes amidst speculation about a potential feud between Omega and Kazuchika Okada, fueled by the recent inclusion of Okada in The Elite faction, previously led by Omega. However, Omega's health remains the primary concern. ## While Omega feels obligated to return to the ring, his focus now is on getting healthy. Surgery, if chosen, would involve removing affected portions of his intestine and colon, followed by an undetermined recovery period. ## “While no decision has been made, it looks more likely than not that Kenny Omega will be getting surgery on his intestines. He’s had his ups and downs but has largely been dealing with a good amount of pain for months now.## “He said surgery is becoming more and more likely as two different doctors have told him they think it’s the best option. It’s not 100 percent that he will have surgery but it’s looking more likely, particularly if he wants to get into condition to resume his career that he will probably have to get rid of the perforated sections of his intestine and colon.” ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
