Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful is reporting that former AEW
champion Kenny Omega underwent diverticulitis surgery on
Thursday in New York.

Apart from appearing once in person on Dynamite from his
hometown in Winnipeg and then the following week via video,
he’s been absent from AEW television since the Worlds End
pay-per-view back in December.

Omega had been suffering from diverticulitis for months and
was told he was lucky that it wasn’t fatal. He previously
stated that he found a top doctor in this field and managed
to get an appointment for surgery.

It will still be months before Omega returns full time to
his AEW duties. On the Winnipeg Dynamite, he was taken out
by The Elite after he proclaimed that he will return even if
he had a 5% chance and “with a bag.”
