Why wouldn't Tony Khan strip him of the title and fire him for breach of contract as soon as he appears on Impact? That's why this is kinda dumb, when you think about it. Because he's worked for multiple other promotions sicne the start of AEW? "As EVP, I specified a clause in my contract letting me make appearances and even sign non-exclusive deals with any other promotion I wish". Done. |

Yeah, the guy is AAA's Mega Champion, was going to do DDT shows again before lockdown occurred, and has even said he contractually can perform for NJPW if he wanted to, but that he had bad blood with the former NJPW president. It would probably be well-within the bounds of his kayfabe contract.
Besides, I think we're meant to think that Khan would see that as damaging to the credibility of the title belt, anyway, if he did that, same reason he didn't strip Jericho for jabbing Moxley's eye in the build up to their title match. Stripping the title would be a last resort.

The same reason Vince didn't fire Stone Cold after repeatedly getting the crapped kicked out of him by Austin. Well, they actually did explain that sort of. The root of the storyline was being aware that Austin was this huge star and he’d rather try to get him on side then get rid of him. Since that didn’t work, the easier plan was to take what Austin was doing and have someone beat him up and take him out so that THEY would be the top star and Vince could manipulate to his own end. |

I'd love to see Kenny show up to AEW with all of these titles. He's been known as the best bout machine and this 6* wrestler for years, he should totally make that his heel gimmick. You can tie that into why he doesn't get fired, too. Make it so that his contract allows him to wrestle anywhere he wants because Khan thought he'd promote AEW as he goes, when the reality is Kenny's only promoting Kenny. Even his position as EVP won't contradict it. Kenny's ego is so OTT that he thinks he's doing all of these promotions a favor by gracing them with his presence.

We need that Triple H All belt edit But it is all Non-WWE North American Titles on Omega |

If Kenny gets all those titles, I want to see him call himself the real undisputed champ. And really rub it in Jericho's face.

Culminating in Kota Ibushi winning the IWGP title at the Dome this year, defending it at New Beginning, celebrating and doing the end-show promo, and then “Devil’s Sky” beginning to play... |

I love that people on reddit are having fun-spirited ,"kayfabe", comments calling Omega a traitor and "f*** Omega." I assume this is the reaction they wanted.
Take advantage they have a passionate fanbase and have Kenny "betray" AEW by not only having an Impact interference but also breaking the "gentlemen's" agreement.
it was a dangerous line to walk but it paid off.I could easily see it going wrong if they played too much into it.

The whole thing really put him over as a heel didn’t it. I said it before, it felt dastardly lol. When the match first ends it was like, ok he cheated he used a weapon he’s a heel now. But by the time eveything finished, it was like ohhhh Kenny Omega you dirty sob. From the run out to everyone yelling backstage to the Tuesday night moment, it felt bigger than just another heel turn. He should get big heat for this. Which is a good thing. |

You see, that's all it takes. Tony basically saying "I could have done that but it's LOLTNA, who cares"
A little bit of explanation, goes a long way.
