NJPW may not have to worry about Kenny Omega making the jump to WWE anytime soon.
Omega, the former IWGP United States Heavyweight champion, recently reunited with Kota Ibushi to reform the Golden Lovers. The team will meet The Young Bucks on March 25th for Strong Style Evolved. Omega’s current storyline definitely sounds like one of those “bucket list” things he mentioned back in early 2017 when he re-signed with NJPW following Wrestle Kingdom 11.
Freedom Over Spectacle
Because he’s regarded as the hottest talent outside of WWE, naturally fans question when he’ll make the trip to Stamford. If you’re one of those fans, then hold your horses. During a recent Twitch stream, Omega broke down why he doesn’t want to be in the WWE at this time (via Cageside Seats):
“Going back to the last question everyone is asking, if I will go to WWE? Right now the answer is no. I’m just having too much fun doing what I am doing. It really means a lot to me in my profession, to feel like I’m making a difference. I don’t want to be a robot. I don’t want to be controlled. Ummm even though there is a lot of great talent, some of my good friends are still in WWE. I wish them all the best but to be able to tell the stories, the kind of stories I want to tell with who I believe are the greatest talents in the world, um that’s most important to me right now.”
