Kenny Omega update, how it affected AEW plans (Patreon)

Kenny Omega is sidelined indefinitely due to diverticulitis.

Fightful has learned that Kenny Omega felt ill even before the AEW Collision match with Ethan Page in Canada, but kept it very close to the vest. Things had worsened by the following week’s AEW Dynamite, but Omega still showed up, thinking he’d only be working in a backstage capacity. However, he ended up doing a live promo with Chris Jericho.

Immediately following Dynamite Wednesday, Omega sought medical care. On Thursday, he was hospitalized on doctor’s orders, and it was determined that Omega had been suffering from diverticulitis. We’ve not been given a time table for Omega’s return, but it was looking like he’d be removed from immediate AEW plans.

In addition to Omega likely being out of AEW World’s End and the tag team title match with Chris Jericho against Ricky Starks and Big Bill, we’re told there were tentative plans for Omega to wrestle this upcoming Wednesday on AEW Dynamite that are now off.

Several backstage at AEW Dynamite Wednesday said they could tell that Omega was not feeling his best, but was still trying to get through the show.

We wish Kenny Omega the best in recovery.
