Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho were all set to challenge Ricky Starks and Big Bill for the AEW World Tag Team Titles at Worlds End on December 30th, but then the unexpected happened. Omega went down with a case of diverticulitis, and that changed everything.
Kenny Omega’s Current Condition
The most recent word we’ve heard is that Kenny Omega is doing better, but he is far from making a return to the ring. At this point, his comeback date is undetermined, because he must get healthy first.
Don Callis and Kenny Omega have a lot of history with each other, some good and some bad. Their most recent run-in on AEW television did not end in a pretty way, so there is storyline friction between the two.
Callis dropped all the kayfabe as he broke character for a sentimental post. He dropped a heartwarming video dedicated to his experiences with Kenny Omega, a reminder of everything the two have been through.

Although Don Callis did not provide any caption for his post, except to tag Kenny Omega, it is evident that he is wishing his old friend a speedy recovery. Kenny Omega’s illness was a shock for many, because it was kept very close to the vest, even up to his match against Ethan Page.
Don Callis probably wouldn’t break character like this on television to wish Kenny Omega well, but it’s good to see that he did on social media. This is another reminder of the real people behind those pro wrestling personas; no matter how good they are at making us hate them, like Don Callis.
