Dave Meltzer confirmed that he had interacted with Omega post his hospitalization. “I guess he’s fine. I heard from him, and he just kind of said that he was in pain & had had trouble sleeping, but he just thought it was the hernia acting up again,” Meltzer said. The concern is valid as Omega had been dealing with issues from a hernia for the last two years, at least, with the AEW star having to go under the knife once before to deal with the issue.

Meltzer provided more updates on the same and stated, “And once he found out it wasn’t, it could have been really, really bad complications. I don’t know how long he’s going to be out, and I don’t think anyone does. It was a very, very serious situation by the time he got to the hospital.”

As of now, Omega has taken an indefinite leave of absence from Wrestling. He was expected to wrestle Ricky Starks and Big Bill for the AEW World Tag Team titles with Chris Jericho at the Worlds End PPV on December 30th.
