Kenny Omega's current situation is looking more positive according to the latest update on the former AEW World Champion.
Last month, Omega revealed that he would be out of action indefinitely and it was later reported that he was battling diverticulitis. Omega's condition is so serious that Don Callis dropped his heel persona to wish his former client the very best in a message on social media.
Good News for Kenny Omega
Earlier this week, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer said that Omega is in a painful situation and that people are taking a wait-and-see approach at this time. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez reported that Kenny Omega’s recent treatment included antibiotic treatments, which seem to be effective.
I was told that one of the things with Kenny’s deal was that they had to pump him full of antibiotics. Apparently, the antibiotics are working. So he may still need surgery but the last report that I got, which was 20 minutes ago, was that things were looking up and that he was doing a lot better and hopefully going to make a full recovery.
Diverticulitis: The Facts
Diverticulitis affects the large intestine and causes abdominal pain, which is why Omega mistook his situation for a hernia at first. It can be caused by diverticula, which are small, bulging pouches that can form in the lining of your digestive system.
Brock Lesnar and Shane McMahon have both suffered from diverticulitis in the past. Lesnar's situation would result in surgery and UFC fights being postponed. He would go under the knife in November 2009 and would return to action in July 2010.
We here at SE Scoops are continuing to wish Omega a full and speedy recovery.
