Dave Meltzer provided a new update on the condition of Kenny Omega on the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Meltzer stated that surgery is looking likely for the former AEW World Champion to deal with his diverticulitis:
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.
There is an obvious plan if and when he returns to come back into a feud with Kazuchika Okada, and because of the legendary status of those matches, that becomes a situation where he’s going to want and need to get into top shape. We keep going back to Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Brock Lesnar, who both returned at a high level and both of their situations were very bad as well, but Omega’s situation was legitimately life threatening.
Omega was “fired” from The Elite by The Young Bucks on a recent edition of AEW Dynamite, also suspending on Hangman Page from the group before introducing Kazuchika Okada to the group as his formal introduction as a member of the AEW roster.
Omega and Okada faced each other on four occasions in singles action as part of New Japan Pro Wrestling between 2017 and 2018.
