Well, folks, grab your popcorn because we’ve got some breaking news hotter than a jalapeño on a summer day! The one and only Kenny Omega, our beloved wrestling maestro, recently reappeared on the May 1 edition of “AEW Dynamite.” But just as we were getting used to seeing his dazzling moves again, he’s vanished quicker than Houdini on a magic bender!
According to the ever-reliable “Fightful Select,” our man Kenny had a date with destiny (and a surgeon) in New York on May 16. The culprit? Diverticulitis – a word that’s harder to pronounce than a poorly written wrestling script! Omega’s guts have been playing heel, and it seems they’re winning this round. Surgery has benched our hero for the foreseeable future, and AEW is scratching their heads trying to figure out what to do without him.
Remember back in December when Kenny’s health took a nosedive? He was diagnosed with this tricky condition and had to spend some quality time in a hospital bed. It was so bad that he even flirted with the idea of hanging up his wrestling boots for good. But like any true wrestling legend, Kenny vowed to make a comeback, albeit with a few less high-flying stunts. Think more “strategic strikes” and less “human catapult.”
During his short-lived return to AEW, Omega dropped a bombshell. He revealed that his initial diagnosis was so dire, doctors said he was dancing on the edge of the abyss. Yet, in true Omega fashion, he promised the fans that he’d be back in the ring, not just to wrestle, but to continue his saga with a fresh twist. He gave a shoutout to some impressive matches at AEW Dynasty and threw a verbal jab at his old buddies, The Young Bucks, reminding them he’s still an EVP – that’s Executive Vice President, not Extra Valuable Player, though he’s that too!
But wait, the drama didn’t end there. In a classic wrestling cliffhanger, Jack Perry and The Young Bucks ambushed Omega to boot him off AEW television. Just when it seemed all hope was lost, FTR swooped in to save the day, wrapping up the episode with more twists than a pretzel at a county fair.
