Kenny Omega Going Above and Beyond for In-Ring Return Amidst Prolonged AEW Hiatus

Kenny Omega’s pursuit of AEW World Tag Team gold alongside Chris Jericho faced an unexpected hurdle when he was diagnosed with diverticulitis, necessitating urgent surgery. This serious medical condition forced Omega to step back from the ring and postpone his plans. However, he’s been making strides in his recovery and recently resumed in-ring training, showcasing his commitment to a successful comeback.

Omega made his first television appearance since December on the May 1 episode of AEW Dynamite, updating fans on his recovery journey. Unfortunately, his return was cut short when The Elite, including The Young Bucks, Jack Perry, and Kazuchika Okada, attacked him, leading to his temporary write-off from the show.

Intensive Training Regimen

Close friend and longtime partner Kota Ibushi confirmed that Omega has already begun training at his facility. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Omega and Ibushi have been focusing on a variety of training methods, including ring movement, stamina, boxing, and Jiu-Jitsu. Omega is clearly going above and beyond to ensure he’s in peak condition for his return.

Fans Eagerly Await Omega’s Comeback

With his steady progress post-surgery and his dedication to training, fans are eagerly anticipating Omega’s return to in-ring action. As the “Best Bout Machine” gets back into form, speculation is swirling about when he’ll make his long-awaited comeback to AEW.
