The world of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was left reeling when Kenny Omega, one of the promotion’s cornerstones, announced his indefinite departure due to a diagnosis of diverticulitis. The news sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, leaving fans and fellow wrestlers alike wondering when the beloved athlete would return to the ring.
Omega’s departure came mere weeks before he was set to face Ricky Starks and Big Bill for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at the Worlds End pay-per-view event. The much-anticipated bout was abruptly canceled, leaving fans frustrated and concerned for Omega’s health.
As the weeks went by, whispers of Omega’s potential return circulated, but the uncertainty surrounding his health status only added to the mystery. In a recent Twitch stream, Omega revealed that he would be undergoing surgery “very, very soon.” While this update brought some clarity to his situation, the exact date of his return remains unknown.
The Elite, comprising The Young Bucks and Jack Perry, took advantage of Omega’s absence, wreaking havoc in Tony Khan’s absence. However, Omega surprised everyone by making a brief return to AEW on the May 1 edition of Dynamite, confronting The Elite and Jack Perry despite not being medically cleared. The move sparked a chain of events, culminating in the announcement of an Anarchy In The Arena Match at the upcoming Double or Nothing PPV between Team Elite and AEW.
The question on everyone’s mind is what lies ahead for Omega upon his return to the ring. Will he seek revenge against The Elite for their actions while he was away? Will he reclaim his spot as one of the top stars in AEW, or will his health issues continue to plague him? Only time will tell.
One thing is certain – Kenny Omega’s return to AEW will be a momentous occasion, and fans worldwide will be eagerly waiting to see what the future holds for the former EVP.
