In a poignant message to his fans, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) superstar Kenny Omega recently expressed his gratitude and reassurance that he will always be “on duty,” even as he prepares to undergo surgery for his diverticulitis diagnosis. The Best Bout Machine, as Omega is affectionately known, has been out of action for several months, leaving a gaping hole in the AEW roster. However, his absence has paved the way for other stars to shine, including Bryan Danielson, who has been singing Omega’s praises in a recent interview.
Omega’s health struggles began in December when he was diagnosed with diverticulitis, a condition that has been causing him immense discomfort and forcing him to take an extended break from in-ring competition. Despite his return to television a few weeks ago, Omega was shockingly attacked by The Elite, throwing a wrench in his comeback plans. In the midst of this power struggle within AEW, Omega announced an Anarchy in the Arena match at Double or Nothing on May 26, featuring The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, and Jack Perry against his hand-picked team.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Omega thanked his fans for their unwavering support and reassured them that he would always be “on duty,” even if they don’t hear from him for a while. This message resonated deeply with fans, who have been missing the high-flying action and charisma that Omega brings to the ring.
Meanwhile, Bryan Danielson, one of AEW’s top stars, has been singing Omega’s praises in a recent interview on Hockey Night in Canada. When asked to name the greatest Canadian wrestler of all time, Danielson pointed to Omega as his top pick, ahead of even the legendary Bret Hart and the Hart family. Danielson and Omega have only faced off in singles action once in AEW, but it’s clear that The American Dragon has immense respect for his former rival.
As Omega prepares to undergo surgery and go on an extended recovery period, his fans will continue to rally around him, inspired by his courage and resilience in the face of adversity. Meanwhile, the endorsement from Danielson serves as a testament to Omega’s talent and impact on the world of professional wrestling. Despite his absence, Omega’s presence is still felt throughout AEW, and fans eagerly await his eventual return to the ring.
