Tony Schiavone says top AEW star has been hospitalized; All In match in jeopardy?

A former AEW World Champion has been hospitalized, seemingly putting a major All In match in jeopardy. Veteran commentator Tony Schiavone has now provided an update on his status. The star suffered a brutal assault at AEW Summer Blockbuster last night.

Last night, reigning International Champion Kenny Omega and Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada were involved in a contract signing segment ahead of their Winner Takes All Match at All In 2025.

After the iconic rivals signed on the dotted line, they were interrupted by Don Callis. As Omega was busy confronting Callis, The Rainmaker shockingly attacked The Cleaner from behind and aligned with the 61-year-old. The attack was so brutal that Kenny had blood coming out of his mouth, and he had to be taken out on a stretcher. Later, Tony Schiavone provided a medical update on The Best Bout Machine's condition.

Schiavone noted that Omega has been hospitalized in the Portland area after suffering the brutal assault. The veteran commentator also reflected on Kenny's history with diverticulitis, a life-threatening medical condition that kept him out of in-ring action for the entirety of 2024. Nevertheless, The Cleaner vs. The Rainmaker for All In 2025 is still on as of now.

''Kenny Omega has been taken to a hospital in the Portland area. Of course, we know about his diverticulitis and about how that was a career-threatening illness that he had. But the names are on the paper. But, as of now, it is going to be Kenny Omega going up against Kazuchika Okada,'' he said. [0:50 onwards]
