I'd love to see what WWE would do with Kenny - and if they got him, you'd think Kota would likely jump in too.
Jay is young enough he could go either way, and still get a run with the other later on, but it's got to be close to final chance for the Golden Lovers and WWE.

Omega jumping ship would have a significant chance of killing my wrestling fandom outright, so given my luck I'm fully expecting it to happen.

Kenny would likely be treated pretty over the top as a international icon i am sure...Sucks that Don likely wouldn't come with him...I like Don as a heel manager

Kenny vs AJ loser gets Gallows and Anderson…spoiler match ends in a double count out. It’s kind of admirable how much a Bullet Club Henchmen Sluts they are. The funny thing is that Anderson was Bullet Club Leader at one point, too. Honestly, I think Jay would be a better long term get for WWE than Omega. Younger and healthier and someone you can make into a real star for years to come. But I couldn't exactly blame WWE for wanting Omega for even just a couple of years. Just as long as they let him actually be Kenny Omega.

I think big shot heel Omega with Callis could have been much bigger than it was for AEW... Kenny has an interesting charisma and bookers should lean hard into how polarizing he can be instead of the perennial coolest kid in the cool club AEW seems to keep him as regardless if he is a face or heel.

I don’t think Kenny will ever fit as well as he does in New Japan. That being said, a one or two year run in WWE (as ppl have mentioned..) would be dope. Imagine if he was the one to retire AJ.

Yeah there's a pit in my stomach just thinking about the premise of Kenny in WWE lol so I'm good. That's a "well time to take a break for five years and hope the landscape is better when I get back" moment if it happens.

If you’re a fan of Kenny, this would give him a slew of fresh opponents to face and a new challenge altogether in going to a promotion like WWE. If you’re a fan of AEW, he’s already fought most of the roster, had a year long world title reign, a tag title reign and story and now a trios title reign; and they still have plenty on their roster to keep going without him.

And if Kota comes in too, the insanely horny comedy homoe-eroticism of a Golden Lovers/Pretty Deadly feud..... I dont think the board would survive it

I feel like the come off as more face-ish when I watch them, but Callis is still with them (Kenny) and I get zero face vibes with him.

From a 2018-2019 Observer Radio interview, Omega had this to say: If I'm WWE, I let him come for a year and build to that. Even if it won't be the same as if they went at it in New Japan or AEW... it would still be a huge dream match that is Wrestlemania worthy. It wouldn't even need a title. Granted, WWE creative would probably find a way to F up any story... but in-ring, you'd have to believe it was be tremendous regardless of the creative.

Yeah regardless of how the Elite are being positioned Callis really has never tried to act like a face act...I actually appreciate that...Most of the time he just isn't around when they are faces or is just on commentary
