Kenny Omega continued on a more somber note, revealing that retirement had been a very real consideration in light of his diagnosis.
“There was a moment when I was dealing with all of this stuff when I wasn’t sure if I was coming back,” he said. “I was heavily considering the possibility that I might not ever… Had I needed to announce my retirement, I felt like I was in a place where I could have done it with a smile on my face. Because I feel like I’ve had a wonderful career, and I have had a lot of fun doing this, I’ve met a lot of great people. I’ve been able to do things I never thought I’d be able to do.”

However, since changing doctors, “The Cleaner” says he hopes to return to the ring either the same or better than before. However, he pointed out that he may have been at the beginning of diverticulitis during his AEW World Title run, but he put the pain down to his hernia. The time off has been good, though, as it’s forced him to re-invent himself.
“It’s actually given me a chance to consider a new Kenny Omega. Maybe re-packaging, and sort of presenting something completely different. Re-branding, if you will, when I come back. To what degree, I don’t know, I guess I’ll just have to see how I feel. In a perfect world, I’d like to come back better than I was before. Like not in my prime, come on, those days are done. I wanna come back a little different and bring something new to the table.”
