Kenny Omega has suffered several injuries throughout his career. However, his fight with diverticulitis was terrifying. The 42-year-old got diagnosed with the life-threatening condition in late 2023 and underwent surgery for it in May 2024. He eventually made a full recovery and returned to professional wrestling. At Forbidden Door 2025, Will Ospreay, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Darby Allin, and Golden☆Lovers (Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi) defeated Gabe Kidd, Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli), and The Young Bucks in a Lights Out Steel Cage match. Interestingly, in a recent conversation with Tanahashi on NJPW WORLD, The Best Bout Machine revealed that he was in immense pain during this showdown. Omega said that his stomach was troubling him, but he powered through because it was Ospreay's last match before neck surgery and also The Ace's final match in the United Kingdom. He also admitted that, as an AEW executive vice president, he should have been more responsible. “The truth is, just before Forbidden Door, I found out about (Will) Ospreay’s injury. I’d heard a bit before his announcement. But I knew you (Hiroshi Tanahashi) would be there and it would be your last U.K. match. So my stomach was hurting, and there was definitely risk there but… I wanted to be in your last U.K. match. So I did it. But I shouldn’t really. As an exec, it was the wrong call not to think of health. But we did it OK…” said Omega.
