Is Kenny Omega Interested In Coming To WWE?

It sounds like a possibility. The dream for a lot of wrestling fans is to see Kenny Omega show up in a WWE ring. Omega recently won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, which several fans see as the final thing that he can accomplish in New Japan. While there is no word on what WWE would want to do with Omega, one of the big questions is whether Omega wants to go there at all. Well, why don’t we just listen to him?

Does WWE want Omega?  Or perhaps some of his friends?

Omega was recently a guest on the Ross Report podcast and discussed the possibility of going to WWE. While Omega is very happy with what he’s doing at the moment, he does leave open the door for a possible run with the company down the line. Omega wrestled in the Deep South developmental program from 2005-2006. Here are some highlights from the interview with transcription courtesy of Wrestlinginc.com:

On Working With New Day

“I was able to work in a fantastic program with The New Day [at E3] and they really brought something special to that sort of feud because all three of those guys are very special athletes, they’re very special performers. They have a special kind of charisma. They know how to work the people, work for cameras, work for the TV. When I think about the possibilities of what it would be like if I could ever mix it up with some of those guys it gets me excited. Because they are a lot of great performers.”

On Who He Would Want To Work With In WWE

“A lot of the guys that even though they came up through the indies you know we were in different stages of our lives and we never mixed it up together. I could say you know if I could work with Seth Rollins at some point in time that would be a lot of fun.

And On Going To WWE One Day

“So when I think about the possibilities of stuff like that it does get me excited. Now every promotion has so many good guys. There’s really no way I would have a bad time going almost anywhere because the depth of the talent is just so deep. WWE right now has a very great collection of talent with guys and I would feel like it’s a missed opportunity if I couldn’t work with them at some point. Of course the huge name among them is AJ [Styles]. You know I’d love to work with AJ and I’d like to be able to do it while I can still move, you know what I mean?”

Opinion: The more I think about it, the more unsure I am if Omega will ever show up in WWE. He has a great thing going with New Japan and there’s a great career for him over there. Sure, it would be cool to see Omega show up in WWE but there’s almost no chance he would be allowed to wrestle the style that has made him such a big star everywhere else. Maybe he shows up, but it’s not the worst thing if he doesn’t.
