AEW executive vice president Kenny Omega announced via social media that he has been hospitalized and will be sidelined indefinitely. Omega did not disclose any details regarding the nature of his ailment.
Powell’s POV: This may explain why he apparently opted against taking part in the Continental Classic tournament. Omega is/was scheduled to team with Chris Jericho to challenge Ricky Starks and Big Bill for the AEW Tag Team Titles at the Worlds End pay-per-view on December 30. Here’s wishing Omega the very best in his recovery.
I can’t really sugar coat this. I’m out indefinitely. I tried to keep pushing past the pain for as long as I could until it became too much. Luckily doctors caught me when they did. I’ll be here so in the mean time, please enjoy wrestling! pic.twitter.com/kn9ZKUgSls

Wow. All your whining about his outfit on Wednesday seems downright petty now
I should burn in hell. How dare I?
Being sick doesn’t mean he didn’t look like an idiot on Wednesday.
Not really. If Omega was too sick to look professional, he shouldn’t have been out there to begin with.
Maybe that’s why he was wearing what he was because he’s sick apparently..
He’s worn similar attire many times. I sincerely hope Omega is okay, but I’m not going to feel bad about wanting a top guy to dress like a star on television.
I wish him the best, and hope he gets what he needed. I’m glad he has his health, insofar as he can walk and talk.
I know he harshed on critics after that recent match where it looked like he landed on his head and neck, saying, “I know how to wrestle,” but he’s put his body through a lot.
It’s being reported as diverticulitis. Brock Lesnar suffered from that in the past as well and had to have surgery for it. Side note, the F5 in the AEW video game(which Kenny was heavily involved in) is called “Diverticulitis”. Wonder if they find that as funny now as they did then.
