Kenny Omega Names Star Who Will Not Set Foot In AEW

AEW

Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega says NJPW’s Gabe Kidd will never set foot in All Elite Wrestling.

At NJPW Power Struggle, Kenny Omega cut an in-ring promo announcing that he plans to make his in-ring return at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5.

Backstage, current NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd confronted Omega and got into a physical pull-apart brawl.

Since then, both men have indicated that they want to have a match with each other at the January 5 Tokyo Dome co-promotional event.

Speaking with NJPW, Kenny Omega stated that Gabe Kidd will never set foot in AEW unless he gives Kidd a positive review. He said:

“I can tell you as someone that knows: someone like Gabe Kidd will not set foot in AEW.”

“Maybe if we’re passing through town, grab your boots kid, have a dark match. He will never see the light of TV unless he gets a very positive review from yours truly.”

“I would love to forgive and forget one time years from now, but I don’t see it happening,”

Omega continued on to address Kidd being compared to former NJPW and current AEW stars like Will Ospreay, Jay White and Kazuchika Okada, saying:

“For anyone that thinks that Gabe might end up the same way as Jay White, or Kazuchika Okada, or Will Ospreay? Gabe Kidd is all your responsibility.”

“Look, I’m throwing my hat in here, I’m taking the bigger step. I’m saying to NJPW that if this is what the company wants, if it’s what’s the fans want and if it’s what Gabe wants.”

“If this is what’s most interesting, then let’s do it, I’ll give you that chance, Gabe. Let’s see what your answer is.”

Kidd has appeared in matches on AEW Rampage and ROH TV on Honor Club.

Omega sent an “invitation” to Gabe Kidd for a match at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5 elsewhere in the interview, which you can read at this link here.
