It’s been nearly a week since Kenny Omega announced he was out indefinitely in the caption of a photo that he posted of himself in the hospital.
Hospitalization
It was later revealed Omega was diagnosed with diverticulitis, impacting AEW’s plans for its World End 2023 pay-per-view event that takes place on Saturday, December 30, 2023, from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York.
Originally, AEW World Tag Team Champions Ricky Starks & Big Bill were slated to defend against The Golden Jets (Chris Jericho &Omega).
The latest
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted Omega is doing much better.
“It’s been six days since Omega was hospitalized. And by the way, he is doing better, but he’s got a long road ahead of him,” Meltzer stated.
Meltzer later added that since there is no timetable for Omega’s return, “I’m going to go with the idea that Omega is out for a long, long time, so I’m not going to figure him into this [building up challengers for AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF] right now until later.”
