Holy shit, I think Kenny Omega is actually going to WWE.

Kenny being in WWE means I will be missing a lot of the rest of Kenny's career.

If true, good for the guy on getting paid. I'm personally not a fan, so I'm not upset at whatever he chooses.

Wow, that “I’m Going to CZW” shirt looks AMAZING. That's weird, I heard he'd been in talks with Brian Knobbs & Jimmy Hart about helping to revive the XWf Yer all wrong, he's going to the AWA.

I've always thought he was going to WWE, but his comments do seem kinda workish. I think Kenny is going to Gamestop.

I don't see Omega going to WWE. I see this as the Elite guys slamming the door on the idea of ever going there in favor of attempting to potentially change the course of wrestling history forever. They've changed indie wrestling. They've changed international wrestling. It's time for them to take on the world.

If he doesn't go to AEW all I can come up with for a reason is perhaps he really isn't as keen on Cody as people think.
In a recent BTE Cody mentioned the one scene being cut down because Kenny started letting lose some stuff about Cody's leadership skills ect and it got uncomfortable.

Yeah, Kenny's not leaving. If they announced Kushida leaving (emotional as heck, by the way), I feel they would've announced Kenny leaving as well. I don't see Omega going to WWE. I see this as the Elite guys slamming the door on the idea of ever going there in favor of attempting to potentially change the course of wrestling history forever. They've changed indie wrestling. They've changed international wrestling. It's time for them to take on the world. Yep. Kenny is just as emotionally invested and introspective about this kind of stuff as the rest of them. Plus he lives modestly, and seems to just enjoy quiet day-to-day life in Japan. The WWE can offer him the most money, but at this point everybody's offering him enough money to be very comfortable. If he doesn't go to AEW all I can come up with for a reason is perhaps he really isn't as keen on Cody as people think. In a recent BTE Cody mentioned the one scene being cut down because Kenny started letting lose some stuff about Cody's leadership skills ect and it got uncomfortable. 99.99% certain that was just a gag. They posted an excerpt of that "deleted scene," and it was just Kenny really enjoying the role of mad scientist.

To be fair he made similar comments after he lost to Okada. It's not like he has a super taxing schedule so this could just be adding story on top of him not being on tours. If I had to guess I'd say WWE since he goes out of his way to talk about them every chance he gets, but I don't think he should leave until he has last matches with Naito and Ibushi.

I read some of those comments. This is a work/shoot scenario. He's announcing that he's leaving but I bet he jumps Tanahashi after the New Beginning main event or something. Wouldn't that be a few days into him being a "free agent?" Until he actually shows up on Raw or SD I won't believe this.
As far as these matches go in NJPW I would have had him regain vs. Tana at MSG, drop the title to Naito, get all the way to either the Finals or Block Finals of the G1, and then put over Ibushi at WK 14. Then he can take the money from WWE.

We'll see I suppose, although in the moment since my interest in WWE is pretty bottomed out and after WK I'm kind of wanting to try watching New Japan more often, the biggest benefit to him being in WWE for me would be, "Well, that's one CAW slot freed up from now on."

Yeah, looking at some of the quotes (assuming they were translated correctly), it sounds like he will be taking some time away from NJPW to rest up before coming back to earn a shot at Tanahashi.

I feel like we’ll know for sure where he is going once the AEW rally happens on Tuesday. If he is going there you have to imagine they’d announce it then.

If his deal with NJPW does not end until the end of the month as some have said, they couldn't legally talk to him, let alone announce anything (barring AEW having a deal made with NJPW). We know he's got his next move planned, just as Kushida does, but there can be nothing official until the contract is fulfilled.

To use AJ Styles as a comparison, maybe treat it like the Stylrs Clash, where it’s mostly teased, and he has another move promoted from signature to finisher. I wouldn't be surprised if the V Trigger became his finisher. It looks like death anyway. But what about “The Knee”/“That Knee”, Seth Rollins’ world famous finisher from a year or so back??

Seth’s Knee was always garbage and soft looking. A good knee can be / should be a finisher. Like Buddy Murphy’s death knee.

I hope he goes to WWE. He'd do great with the guys there. It's similar to a Styles situation I'd say. Yeah people were worried about how AJ would be too but it ended up working out. I think Omega would do well. He can just sign a 3 year deal, if in 3 years AEW is still around he can switch over there.
