Kenny Omega is currently recovering from abdominal surgery following a severe case of diverticulitis that sidelined him since December 2023. Despite making some appearances to advance storylines, he underwent surgery in May and is still experiencing pain, preventing him from taking bumps in the ring. Dave Meltzer reports that Omega is training with moderate intensity but has no estimated timeline for his return to AEW. His fellow wrestler, Kota Ibushi, who is also recovering from an injury, is anticipated to return alongside Omega. Upon his return, Omega is expected to renew his rivalry with Kazuchika Okada, who took his place in The Elite during his absence. Fans remain hopeful for Omega's full recovery and return to the ring.
