Kenny Omega was interviewed by Sports Illustrated after his incredible match at Wrestle Kingdom 11 against Kazuchika Okada. During the interview he had some harsh words for the WWE Championship title, saying that it currently means nothing based on its current booking.
Here is what he said about the WWE Championship:
“This IWGP title means more with me than any WWE championship. The WWE belt means nothing, it means absolutely nothing. They pass around that belt like a hot potato. I probably have a neighbor on my block who held that belt at one point. There is no prestige to that belt whatsoever”
Omega also talks about supposedly turning down WWE offers and doing things that AJ Styles, Finn Balor and other stars have never done in New Japan. He also says that he wants to move New Japan Pro Wrestling forward in 2017, taking it to new heights.
Kenny finished it off by saying:
“I want to take New Japan into a new world of wrestling so there is at least one other option to the monopolized world that WWE has created”

Some interesting comments from Omega about the WWE Championship. Omega has been fairly vocal about the WWE in recent times, including a interview where he said that no one in WWE would be able to have a better match than him. He has also said that WWE is hiring people just to hire them.
Let us know what you think of his comments in our comment section below!!! Do you agree or disagree with him?
I agree with him in thst WWE has been hiring people just to cool their push elsewhere. It’s horrible how they take established superstars and remold them in their image, only to mess up and depush them in the process. The Bullet Club is a fine example – if it wasn’t for AJ’s strong debut, he would’ve remained a mid carder. Gallows and Anderson are just there. They have no defined personality, no reason for being – they’re just there. NXT trainees have the ability to experiment, at least. I guess if you’re getting paid well to be on the sidelines and sell merch, it doesn’t hurt as much…but when you compare your main event scene to other companies’ and theirs it more dynamic than yours, and you’re the “top” company, it stings.
TL;DR
Kenny Omega said WWE sucks, and I agree.
Who is Kenny Omega?
You perfectly explained the difference between WWE and any other promotion. This is the bitter truth.
