Kenny Omega recently appeared on the Young Bucks’ “Wrestlers Ordering Room Service” YouTube show and spoke about the issues between him and his former promotion, New Japan Pro Wrestling.
“I was the lowest-paid guy on the roster for like a year and a half,” Omega said regarding his time in NJPW.
Omega and the Bucks then spend some time talking about the last couple of years they spent in New Japan. Omega then addressed his final Wrestle Kingdom match against Hiroshi Tanahashi.
“There is a huge long story with the build-up to my match with Tanahashi how they completely changed the narrative,” Omega said. “At first, it was supposed to be a 50/50 story between myself and Tanahashi, people were supposed to be torn.”
Omega has it specifically written into his AEW contract that he can wrestle with NJPW. Despite this, Omega has not returned to the company since.
“Once they knew that I was going they did whatever they could to do a complete media blitz to make it look like I was this terrible person,” Omega continued. “Once I started to pick up on that it actually inspired me to make the video that I made.”
