Omega, who recently won the IWGP Heavyweight Title from Kazuchika Okada at Dominion 6.11, is also a former WWE developmental superstar having competed under the company’s then-developmental brand DSW several years ago.

However, it is in Japan where Omega has earned a ton of experience and respect in the Pro Wrestling industry and has also had a very successful career in the Land of The Rising Sun as well.

The heart of the matter

There is certainly no doubt in the fact that IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega is definitely on the radar of the WWE, as the sports entertainment company would be looking forward to bringing in Omega to the promotion at some point down the line.

Omega, who was recently in a conversation with WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross, claimed that it will definitely be a missed opportunity if he doesn’t jump ship to the WWE at some point in his career, due to the fact that the WWE has such a deep and talented roster.

In addition, Omega also stated that he would absolutely love to work with the likes of Seth Rollins and his former Bullet Club stablemate AJ Styles, upon The Best Bout Machine’s potential arrival to the WWE.
