Many fans have been discussing the future of Kenny Omega over the past several months.
Will he re-sign with NJPW? Will he make the jump to WWE? Or, will he join his friends in the new promotion, All Elite Wrestling
We have the latest update to pass your way about Omega’s future. This comes via Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here).
According to Meltzer, WWE has made a “fantastic offer” to Kenny Omega. He will become a free agent later this month.
Meltzer also reports that AEW, ROH and NJPW officials will meet after Wrestle Kingdom 13 to discuss a potential working relationship. He says that he has a strong impression the three promotions would like to work together but says political issues could always get in the way.
Kenny is apparently a wildcard right now when it comes to his future.
My Take: With AEW potentially becoming competition down the road for WWE, I could really see WWE offering Omega some big time money. My gut says that he won’t take it though and will join AEW with the rest of the ELITE crew. Never underestimate the power of money though. We will have to wait and see.
