Kenny Omega is still disappointed over his loss to Chris Jericho at AEW’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view back in May.
Omega is one of the biggest stars and arguably the best pure wrestler on the AEW roster. Many believed he was primed to be the first AEW World Champion. Back at Double or Nothing, he had a chance to make that vision a reality. Omega’s main event clash with Jericho was to determine which man would challenge for the AEW World Championship at All Out.
Unfortunately for Omega, he came up short and it’s Jericho battling Adam Page on August 31st to crown the inaugural champ.
During the latest episode of AEW’s Road To All Out YouTube series, Omega reflected on the loss to Jericho and what it means for his career. After some reflection, he feels he just wasn’t good enough to earn the title shot.

Though he then went on to explain that his best performances have always come from behind and his best work has always come when he had to sacrifice something:
“Everyone trusted me to make a statement on that first show. I felt that I was on another level. Something that couldn’t be stopped. but I wasn’t good enough. All I had to do was get past Chris Jericho. I was supposed to be the chosen one. It was the expectation that I would be the champion.
Now I got a lot of work to do. My best performances have always come from behind. My best work has never been because I was handed something, it has always been because I had to work for something, sacrifice something.”
Kenny Omega then went on to thank Jon Moxley because Moxley is the one who will inspire Kenny to evolve and show the world why people call him the best. Omega and Moxley will square off in one of the featured matches at AEW All Out.
Apart from this, the Road To All Out episode also featured Adam Cole’s promo against Chris Jericho at a recent House of Glory Wrestling show and more.
