In a shocking turn of events, former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega has announced that he will be out of action indefinitely due to a serious medical condition. Omega, who has been teaming up with fellow Winnipeg native Chris Jericho as “The Golden Jets,” had his sights set on the AEW World Tag Team Championships held by Big Bill and Ricky Starks. However, those plans have now been scrapped.

The story unfolded with a post from Omega on social media platform X, where he revealed that a recent pain has worsened, leading to his decision to step away from the ring. He expressed gratitude that doctors caught his condition in time, stating, “I can’t really sugarcoat this. I’m out definitely.”

Further details emerged from wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, who reported that Omega had been battling an illness before seeking medical attention. It was later diagnosed as diverticulitis, a serious inflammation or infection of small pouches in the digestive system.

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio provided additional insight, stating that Omega’s condition could have been much worse if not diagnosed promptly. He emphasized the severity of the situation, noting that Omega was in significant pain and could have faced “horrendous complications” if he had delayed seeking medical help.

Omega’s diagnosis draws comparisons to former WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, who also suffered from diverticulitis and was forced to step away from competition. However, Omega’s situation appears to have been caught in time to avoid such dire consequences.

Amidst speculation surrounding Omega’s condition, some fans have pointed to a video game reference as potential karma. However, Omega himself dismissed these claims, stating that he had no involvement in the creation of the move list in the game.

As Omega begins his journey towards recovery, the wrestling community sends him well wishes for a speedy return to the ring.
