Tony Khan On The Status Of Kenny Omega’s Health: I Think It’s Taken A Turn For The Better

Tony Khan provided a positive update on Kenny Omega‘s health last night following Final Battle.

All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan recently participated in the Ring of Honor Final Battle Media Scrum. When asked for an update about the status of Kenny Omega, Khan offered a very heartfelt response.

“I know Kenny put out a statement of his own, and I completely support it,” Tony Khan said. “And I spoke to him today, and of course, we’ve been very, very, very concerned. And honestly, it’s hard to focus on pro wrestling when somebody that you care about, somebody that is so responsible for all of this in so many ways.

“I don’t know if we could have launched AEW, and this would all be possible without Kenny Omega. And certainly, he’s as influential on the launch of AEW as anybody. He’s one of the greatest pro wrestlers in the world, and he’s also a really important figure in this promotion and this business.

“So I think we’re all really concerned, but thankfully, he’s communicating. And I think we’re hoping for the best, and I think it’s taken a turn for the better. The most important thing is that he got help from the doctors at the right time and didn’t wait any longer because he was in a lot of pain.

“And I don’t think we knew how sick he was, or nobody would have wanted him to — to be honest, I’ll leave it to him to give updates because he’s already kind of been communicating, and it’s his health, and I don’t want to speak for him. But we’re all praying for Kenny Omega, and thankfully, it seems like there’s good reasons to be very optimistic, but we were all really worried about him.

“So it was honestly really hard the last 24 hours focusing on wrestling when somebody who’s a part of our wrestling family has something happening that’s not wrestling like that. So when there’s a life situation like that, it always takes the most precedence.

“But we’re thinking about Kenny Omega and hoping he gets well very soon and wishing him the best. Sometimes, it’s not about wrestling, even on a great night wrestling like this. That’s probably the first and foremost thing. It’s a great question. Thank you. All the best, Kenny. Get well soon, man.”
