In a recent interview with Fightful, All Elite Wrestling’s Kenny Omega discussed several topics, including his battle with diverticulitis that has kept him out of the ring for almost a year.

Omega noted that it went unchecked for so long and that he felt off during training, with low energy, no matter what he did as nothing was working in the midsection area.

Omega noted that there was one in-ring segment where he was not feeling well, stating that he had asked the AEW make-up department beforehand to help him look more tan as his face was pale and his lips were blue and said that he watched it back and that he was not there, gone, and also felt it in the ring.

Omega noted that it was a wake-up call for him to get the help that he needed and admitted that it took quite a lot for him to take a step back. Omega added that these days, he has more good days than bad and that while isn’t as strong, explosive or fast as he used to be, he is seeing changes and that the inside of his body is matching what the outside is trying to do.
