Kenny Omega’s comeback to AEW had fans on edge, wondering if The Cleaner could still operate at the level that made him one of the best wrestlers in the world. After battling diverticulitis and being sidelined for months, Omega made his in-ring return on the January 15 episode of AEW Dynamite, taking on Brian Cage in a hard-hitting contest.

Despite the physicality of the match, Omega looked like he hadn’t missed a step, picking up the win with a One-Winged Angel. The excitement continued post-match when Will Ospreay made his way to the ring, only for both men to get blindsided by the Don Callis Family. The return was electric, but naturally, fans started asking: How is Omega really holding up?

During a recent Fightful Select Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp addressed Omega’s health status when asked if the former AEW World Champion was feeling good after reminding “everyone what GOD looks like.” Sapp assured fans that Omega’s recovery seems to be going smoothly.

“I’ve heard nothing to indicate that Kenny Omega has faced any hurdles since returning, which is great news. There was serious concern for his future as of a year ago,” Sapp revealed.
