According to a post on social media, the situation could have gone extremely wrong, but The Best Bout Machine decided to cut a promo on-stage for AEW because he was booked to do so:

"Kenny Omega was told when diagnosed with Diverticulitis that he was very lucky he went in because the situation could have been catastrophic, such as getting a blood infection, if he wasn’t diagnosed at the time he was, which would have something like a 50% chance of death. - WON."

His tag-team partner, Chris Jericho, had something to say about it as well:

"And yet he still insisted on going to the ring to do a promo For all of his fans the night before, because he was advertised on #AEWDynamite. That’s the type of professional he is," Jericho replied.

Don Callis breaks character to speak about Kenny Omega's condition

Don Callis has been in a feud with Chris Jericho and Omega for a while now. However, before that feud, Callis and Omega were friends, almost family. After all, Kenny's uncle, The Golden Sheikh, trained Don.

Wrestlers who have in-ring feuds rarely break character and do anything that would not match their characters or the storyline, but Callis has gone ahead and done just that to give support to Omega.
