Kenny Omega’s wrestling career began with a brief stint in Deep South Wrestling, a former WWE developmental territory. He was given a tryout in October 2005, but requested his release in August 2006. After his time in WWE, he even considered quitting professional wrestling. Despite this, reports have suggested that WWE has expressed interest in signing him.
Following a lengthy injury layoff, Tony Khan has reportedly added the missed time to Omega’s AEW contract. While WWE may have had the opportunity to sign Omega, he is currently under contract with AEW.
While speaking on CBC’s Front Burner podcast with host Jayme Poisson, Kenny Omega was asked about his future in AEW and beyond. Omega made it clear he is not sure about his future.
I always kind of try to find my own way or at least try to lean in the direction of where my heart is pulling me, and right now, I’m taking one step at a time, and with this Winnipeg show it feels like ‘yeah this feels right’ and what’s next? I don’t know because nothing has spoken to me, nothing has told me this is what you need to do. The spidey sense hasn’t been triggered yet.
