IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Lance Archer wants to face AEW's Kenny Omega.

Lance Archer got the biggest win of his AEW career when he defeated Jon Moxley to win the IWGP US Title in a Texas Death Match at Fyter Fest Night 2 to end a streak of big match losses.

He immediately defended his belt the following week against Bullet Club's Hikuleo at Fight for the Fallen. Archer is scheduled for a huge match against Hiroshi Tanahashi at NJPW Resurgence.

During a Twitter Q&A, the Murderhawk Monster revealed that he wants to take on Kenny Omega next. A Twitter user asked Archer who he'd like to fight the most, and Archer replied with Kenny Omega citing him being the AEW world champion as the reason.

"Kenny cuz he's Champ," Lance Archer tweeted.

Kenny Omega and Lance Archer have never faced off in a singles match so a potential clash feels like a big deal already. It's unlikely to happen anytime soon, but it is a bout that should happen in AEW at least once.
