Kenny Omega is one of the greatest singles wrestlers of this generation, but he believes he has more than that to offer All Elite Wrestling.
AEW International Champion Kenny Omega was a recent guest on Wrestling Observer Radio. While discussing the pair of Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay teaming up this weekend at All In: Texas, Omega expressed his desire to show he can do more for AEW than just being a serious singles competitor.
“If something is working and if something can become a commodity, there is no reason to fight it,” Kenny Omega said. “I do think the idea of ‘your top guys must be singles performers and must have singles matches,’ I’ve heard that my whole career as well. ‘If we’re getting Kenny, it better be a singles match with no hijinx, no interference.’
“They just want it to be serious and hard-hitting. I’m sorry, but I feel like I have more to offer than that, and I want to prove I have more to offer than that. I want to be able to have great tag matches and a great three-way or four-way. I want to be able to do a great battle royal or make people laugh if I need to, if that’s the appropriate place to do it.
“And I think Will and Swerve want to prove that, too. They want to prove they can be complete, all-around professional wrestlers. If having a great tag team run is a way for them to do that, show that, and there is money in that and the fanbase and viewership goes up because of it, no reason not to do it.” [H/T: Fightful]
