Kenny Omega has always been a popular star, but interest in the Canadian spiked recently after he revealed he would be leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Instantly, fans began to speculate whether the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion would finally join WWE, or go to AEW, the new promotion set up by Cody and the Young Bucks.

Despite WWE reportedly offering him one of their best contracts, Omega has turned them down, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

The same report from the Observer also suggested that Omega could be signing with All Elite Wrestling as soon as February 1.

If so, the WWE will definitely have lost out on a huge star, especially as Omega could have debuted at the Royal Rumble pay per view, just like AJ Styles three years ago.
