What's up you guys? Welcome to Fightful. Sean Ross Sapp here with a name you know.

How could you not know him? Man, one of the greatest AEW IWGP champions of all time.

We saw him come back on New Japan Pro Wrestling television. It's great to see his face again.

Kenny Omega, how you doing, man?

Doing well.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah, it's great to be somewhat back.

Yeah, so, I mean, obviously, lots of questions about that.

The last time we, I can't say the last time we saw you on AEW TV, you were getting knees put through your head. But the last time we saw you on AEW TV, you were getting knees put through your head.

But the last time we saw you preparing for any semblance of action in the ring was almost a year ago.

And then we find out this horrible news that you are battling diverticulitis, which, I mean, quite frankly, many wrestling fans only know of via other famous wrestlers having.

Like, it's not, it's not a common thing.

Explain me the process of even finding out that this is going on, because I heard that you worked a couple of matches and you were really sick.

Yeah.

Who knows the amount of matches I had worked

in that condition. I had just known that there was something off and there was something off for quite

some time. I'd noticed it in my training. I'd noticed it in the results of my training or lack thereof.

You know, I just felt like I always felt low on energy I'd felt that no matter what I did

no matter how hard that I would diet how hard that I would train nothing was working in

the midsection area and I was feeling again like I said lack of energy there was

sometimes pain in the midsection area and it felt different than the kind of pain you'd get from, say, you know, working too much

abs or eating something that maybe didn't agree with you a little bit.
