In recent weeks, there has been a lot of talk about Kenny Omega’s future in AEW, as it was believed that his deal was slated to expire in late January. However, AEW extended the deal for the time that he missed while out with injuries. It’s unclear how much longer he has on the extended time.
As previously reported, WWE is interested in signing Omega once he’s free and clear to talk. Omega is said to be open-minded about going to the rival promotion.
The Elite dropped the AEW Trios Titles to House of Black at AEW Revolution.
While speaking with the media at the post-Revolution media scrum, AEW’s Tony Khan was asked about Omega’s status. He has stated that he does not talk about wrestler contracts but he had praise for Omega. Khan said the following:
“I think Kenny Omega is one of the best wrestlers in AEW history. He’s one of the most decorated wrestlers,” Khan stated. “To have somebody who’s been World Trios Champion and had a great match defending that title tonight. World Tag Team Champion and the World Champion. He’s done everything you can do as a World Champion in this company, and also the IWGP US Champion, and this year alone, he’s had some of the best matches in the world. I thought it was an excellent match on the pay-per-view tonight. He started the year with a great match versus Will Osprey at [NJPW] Wrestle Kingdom. Kenny Omega can do anything he sets his mind to. He’s one of the best stars in the world, and I hope he’s here for a very long time.”
