Omega has been out of action since November 2021 after losing the AEW World Championship to Hangman Adam Page. Since then, he's been recovering from many injuries, including a hernia and vertigo. The former champion hasn't made a single on-screen appearance since.

According to PWInsider, Omega returned to his usual booking of the AEW Women's Division. However, it's unclear when he'll be back to in-ring action.

During a February interview with WOR, Omega said he originally planned to return that month. Unfortunately, he's since had to undergo additional surgeries and procedures.

Since being out of action, Omega was heavily involved in developing the AEW video game amidst recovering from the many injuries. Fans worldwide are likely hoping that the former AEW World Champion returns soon.
