7 Reasons Kenny Omega might have chosen AEW over WWE

Kenny Omega is the most wanted man in wrestling, but it seems like he might be signing with AEW.

#5 A chance to build something grand from the ground up

Cody and the Young Bucks know they face an uphill battle with AEW.

Long before the freezing January announcement officially acknowledging the formation of All Elite Wrestling, there has been industry buzz surrounding the fledgeling promotion.

Most of the buzz has been to question whether or not All Elite Wrestling even has a chance in the crowded sports entertainment market. Independent wrestling had a banner year in 2018, and interest in pro wrestling has reached new heights previously only seen during the Monday Night War.

But All Elite Wrestling has a ton of advantages over its fellow upstart independent promotions, and one of those is its novelty. AEW is literally building itself from the ground up. For a man like Kenny Omega, the lure of being there to nurture and grow a new promotion might be irresistible.

After all, everyone knows Hogan helped build the WWE into a massive machine, and Hogan became a legend in the process. Omega might be able to do the same for AEW, and himself.
