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...

With WrestleMania 40 just a week away, the match card is nearing completion. While 10 matches have already been announced, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter sheds light on what's next. ## According to the report, three more bouts are planned, bringing the total to 13. This would allow for a balanced schedule with seven matches on one night and six on the other. Additionally, each match would reportedly have enough time to shine. ## Here's the twist: all three new matches are expected to hail from SmackDown. Notably, one will feature the members of Damage CTRL, Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Iyo Sky. However, fans anticipating a Women's Tag Team Championship defense will be disappointed, as the titles won't be on the line.## This hints at a potential internal conflict within Damage CTRL or perhaps a grudge match against another SmackDown faction. The exact details remain under wraps, but one thing's for sure: WrestleMania 40 promises some surprising SmackDown showdowns. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

This week's WWE Raw featured a bloody attack on Cody Rhodes by The Rock, but fans shouldn't expect to see a return to bladed wrestlers every week. ## The parking lot attack, which you can see below, included The Rock telling Rhodes "tonight, I'm going to make you bleed" earlier in the show. However, the use of blood in this instance seems to be an exception rather than the rule. ## Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer addressed the return of blood, noting that with Vince McMahon no longer at the helm, "blood is no longer a regular feature" on WWE programming. Meltzer also clarified that there are no plans for WWE to adopt a more liberal approach to blood, similar to their competitor AEW. ## However, it seems The Rock holds a special place. Meltzer compared The Rock's influence to Brock Lesnar's under the McMahon administration, stating, "But if Johnson wants it in his angle, he's like Lesnar...and he's going to be able to do what he wants in his angles and matches."## This unique position likely stems from The Rock's recent business ventures with WWE. In January, he joined the TKO Board of Directors and acquired ownership of trademarks related to his wrestling persona. Additionally, he cemented his villainous turn at the WrestleMania 40 kickoff event, aligning himself with Roman Reigns. ## The Rock and Reigns are set to team up against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 on April 6th. Following this tag match, Rhodes will challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on Night 2. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

The company announced a brand new show, WWE Speed, which will debut on the social media platform X starting April 3rd. The show's centerpiece will be a tournament to crown the first-ever WWE Speed Champion. ## These matches will be unique in professional wrestling, with a strict three-minute time limit. Tapings for WWE Speed have already begun, with matches filmed before episodes of Raw and SmackDown. This suggests that the X show might not feature exclusively live matches. ## However, reports indicate that encounters like Odyssey Jones vs. Cedric Alexander and Tyler Bate vs. Angel Garza have already been captured for the program. This innovative format could also serve as a launchpad for Superstars who haven't received regular spots on Raw or SmackDown. ## Let's check out the 3 potential winners from WWE’s roster. ## #1. Cedric Alexander ## Cedric Alexander, once a forgotten name in WWE, is making a comeback. Unlike his fellow wrestlers who participated in the initial "Speed" tapings, Alexander recently returned for more in February and again last week on March 22nd. This focus on Alexander suggests WWE sees him as a key player for the high-octane show. It's no surprise why. His one drawback, besides a stint with The Hurt Business, has been a lack of clear direction. "Speed" and potentially becoming the show's inaugural champion could be the turning point Alexander deserves. ## #2. Odyssey Jones ## Odyssey Jones, a name that once echoed with promise in NXT, has become somewhat of an enigma within WWE. Drafted to Raw last spring, Jones has yet to make a single televised appearance, leaving fans and analysts alike wondering about his future.## This is a stark contrast to his fellow draftee, Cameron Grimes, who has already made waves on the main roster. Jones, on the other hand, remains unseen, even within the halls of his former stomping ground, NXT.## However, there's a faint glimmer of hope. Reports suggest Jones has been competing on the house show circuit and even participated in tapings for the brand new NXT Speed show. This hints that WWE might not have forgotten about the colossal Superstar altogether. ## #3. Tyler Bate ## Bate is best known for his accomplishments in NXT UK, where he is the inaugural and the final WWE United Kingdom Champion. He is also the only NXT UK Triple Crown Champion, having held the NXT UK Championship, the NXT UK Tag Team Championship, and the NXT UK Heritage Cup. Bate is also the youngest ever superstar to hold a singles title in WWE when he won the WWE United Kingdom Championship at only 19 years old. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
