Despite playful jabs and friendly competition that transcends wrestling promotions, they've maintained a strong real-life friendship.## During a recent Twitch stream, Omega fielded questions about a potential celebrity boxing venture.

The conversation then turned to potential opponents, with fans suggesting Xavier Woods.## "The Cleaner" seemed intrigued by the idea. "Creed (Xavier Woods)," he said, "Actually you know what? Creed, I honestly — it would be a good match. I actually think that'd be a really good match… But in an actual shoot boxing match. I think it'd be a good fight. I think it really would be. That'd be actually really good."## Omega playfully emphasized that despite their on-screen rivalry, he wouldn't want to inflict any real harm. "I wouldn't wanna hit him though," he joked. "I hate him, I don't wanna hit him. I hate his guts but I don't wanna hit the guy... I don't think he wants to hit me either. I don't think it's like that.

Update On Kenny Omega’s Health Amid Speculation Surrounding The Timeframe On His Potential Return To The Ring

Kenny Omega, the popular AEW wrestler and Executive Vice President, is facing some hurdle in his return to the ring. Diagnosed with diverticulitis in December 2023, Omega has been sidelined for months and may now require surgery. ## While an official decision hasn't been made, reports from Dave Meltzer suggest surgery is becoming increasingly likely. Omega himself has experienced persistent pain and doctors are leaning towards this option for a full recovery and return to wrestling. ## This news comes amidst speculation about a potential feud between Omega and Kazuchika Okada, fueled by the recent inclusion of Okada in The Elite faction, previously led by Omega. However, Omega's health remains the primary concern. ## While Omega feels obligated to return to the ring, his focus now is on getting healthy. Surgery, if chosen, would involve removing affected portions of his intestine and colon, followed by an undetermined recovery period. ## “While no decision has been made, it looks more likely than not that Kenny Omega will be getting surgery on his intestines. He’s had his ups and downs but has largely been dealing with a good amount of pain for months now.## “He said surgery is becoming more and more likely as two different doctors have told him they think it’s the best option. It’s not 100 percent that he will have surgery but it’s looking more likely, particularly if he wants to get into condition to resume his career that he will probably have to get rid of the perforated sections of his intestine and colon.” ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Tony Khan Takes Jab At Eric Bischoff As 'Strictly Business' Podcast Concludes

The longstanding rivalry between AEW President Tony Khan and wrestling legend Eric Bischoff took another turn this morning on social media. Khan seemingly aimed a shot at Bischoff's podcast, "Strictly Business," following the latest episode of AEW Dynamite. ## The back-and-forth began when a fan commented on Khan's tweet, noting the late hour (4 AM) of the post. Khan's tweet itself referenced a "fraud of a business podcast" without explicitly naming it, but concluding with the AEW Dynamite hashtag. ## Wrestling fans quickly connected the dots, realizing Khan was likely referring to "Strictly Business," which announced its final episode earlier that day. Host Jon Alba explained Bischoff's busy schedule and his desire to focus on other projects as reasons for the podcast's conclusion.## Despite Khan's apparent disapproval, the podcast garnered support from wrestlers like Matt Cardona and Joey Janela, who expressed their appreciation for "Strictly Business." Alba himself highlighted the show's unique dynamic, existing despite the 38-year age gap and contrasting perspectives between him and Bischoff.## Some news tonight about the future of Strictly Business with @EBischoff pic.twitter.com/twm1dO81tt— Jon Alba (@JonAlba) March 28, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
