Despite proudly holding the tag of the Best Bout Machine in the promotion over the years, top AEW act Kenny Omega received an enormous injury blow in his career last December. However, after two months of hiatus, the former NJPW star has shown encouraging signs of recovery.

Tony Khan spilled the comforting news about The Cleaner in a recent media interaction.

Khan lost many talents from his court last year and even at the start of his year. So, the glimmer of hope associated with the health update of Kenny Omega had him take a breather. He let the world know, ‘ “Kenny is doing better but he was seriously sick and his life could have been threatened had he not gotten to the doctors when he did. He was really sick. Thankfully he’s doing much better, we all wish him the best and look forward to seeing him again when he’s healthy”.

For those unversed, All Elite Wrestling sensation Kenny Omega has reportedly been diagnosed with a rare health complication, diverticulitis. From the hospital bed, the 40-year-old star himself shared concerning news, sending the entire wrestling universe into worry. He declared that the illness had his career hanging in the balance, as he was out for an indefinite period. The situation took a more serious turn when the fans came to know that he could collapse during the aggressive treatment process. A delay in surgery was what triggered the severity of his health.

However, not long before the hiatus, Khan re-signed Omega and The Elite to a multi-year deal. Nevertheless, even before his own injury troubles plagued him, the AEW star did not look forward to the changing landscape of AEW.

Over the past few years, Tony Khan made rounds, adding a host of pay-per-views to their schedule. The number doubled from four to eight in 2023. But the needle over entity, Kenny Omega doesn’t deem it as a sureshot fruitful call at all. He thinks there should be an adequate time in between the PPVs for building up proper storylines and retaining the fans’ emotions in the long run. The PPV should be a special deal that doesn’t occur every alternative day. He feels the quality speaks louder than the quantity.

However, as Omega has a hand in making some important decisions for the company, he can change things to some extent in the future. But for now, we are looking forward to getting him back healed into the fray.
