Kenny Omega says he “came back way too early” from his battle with diverticulitis
During an interview with Haley Miller of Vice Magazine, Kenny Omega commented on his recovery from diverticulitis ahead of the 2026 AEW Dynasty PPV event…
“I’m just still a little tiny bit on the mend, because it’s a process that takes a long time. Plus, I came back way too early, so I hindered my own full recovery because of the schedule that I took probably a year and a half too soon, which it is what it is, but here we are.”
“Finally, I’ve been able to find the equation. I’ve been able to figure out a diet, a workout plan, and a way to stay as healthy as possible and get results, which is the most important part. It was really difficult to regain usable energy. It was tough to feel like I had any spring left in my step.”
“There are days when I don’t feel so great still, but then there are days when I do feel great. When I’m at the gym, whether it be with a large group of people, or whether I’m just with one training partner, even heck, just by myself, I’m monitoring myself when I have those great days. I think, ‘My goodness, where is this energy coming from today? Where is the strength coming from today?’ This is the type of stuff the old Kenny Omega could be doing.”
