Kenny Omega gives encouraging update on health status
Kenny Omega doesn’t want fans to worry about his health status.
Concern over Omega’s health was raised on Friday following a line written by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. In the new issue, Meltzer questioned if AEW will be able to sustain the high level of match quality its had in 2025 going forward with Will Ospreay “likely out for a long time,” Swerve Strickland “out for some time,” and Omega “battling very serious pain.”
Omega is assuring fans that he’ll be fine, though. He sent out a tweet this afternoon telling fans not to worry about him.
Everybody is in some way, right?

“Everybody is in some way, right?,” Omega wrote in response to the claim that he’s battling serious pain. “Let’s not worry about me, we got work to do next week! I’ll be fine.”
Omega was recently part of the Lights Out steel cage match in the main event of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Next Wednesday on Dynamite, he’ll be teaming up with Hangman Page, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight in an All-Star eight-man tag match against Kyle Fletcher, Josh Alexander & The Young Bucks.
At the start of 2025, Omega returned to the ring after missing all of last year following a bout with diverticulitis.
