Overview
- In a CBS Sports interview, Omega said he has been thinking a lot about when to retire and wants to leave before he resembles a diminished version of himself.
- He described a preferred exit where fans barely notice his absence because AEW has built enough stars to carry the spotlight.
- Omega detailed that doctors told him he was roughly 24 hours from dying during a 2023 diverticulitis episode that led to surgery removing 25 centimeters of his colon.
- He returned in May after a 17-month layoff and has worked about 14 matches since, adjusting to his post-surgery limits.
- Omega said his condition varies day to day and he is focused on delivering safe, proud performances, and he is listed to team with Jurassic Express against The Young Bucks and Josh Alexander at AEW Full Gear.
