Tony Khan reacts to Kenny Omega's unforeseen announcement on his health and AEW future: "I don't think we knew how sick he was"
AEW's Kenny Omega shocked the wrestling world with a health update that he recently revealed. It was later reported that The Best Bout Machine was diagnosed with diverticulitis after he was hospitalized following his match with Ethan Page.
The Cleaner is currently signed up with Tony Khan's AEW and is part of the tag team The Golden Jets with Chris Jericho. Omega revealed that he is out indefinitely from in-ring action. At the ROH Final Battle Media Scrum, when Khan was asked about Omega's condition, he was pretty detailed in his reply.
Khan first spoke about how the former AEW World and Tag Team Champion had played an important role in creating AEW and also said that he completely supports him at the moment. TK also said that he wouldn't want to comment on when or how Kenny would return because The Cleaner was already giving out updates. Khan then commented on the promptness with which Omega took medical aid.
"The most important thing is he got help from the doctors at the right time and didn't wait any longer because he's in a lot of pain and I don't think we knew how sick he was or nobody would have wanted him to...to be honest, I'll leave it to him to get updates because he's already been communicating and it's his health and I don't want to speak for him, " he said [From 01:43:40 to 01:44:02]
