Vince McMahon’s surprise return to WWE creative has sent shockwaves throughout the industry. As the company’s live show was aired, McMahon was seen making changes on the fly, causing some unrest and low morale among talent. Despite this, the shift in power may have a significant impact on whether WWE can secure high-profile talent like Kenny Omega. Omega, a free agent with a contract set to expire, has been rumored to be a prized target for WWE, but his future in professional wrestling is now uncertain.
During a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer suggested that Omega might reconsider signing with WWE given McMahon’s return. However, Omega’s agents emphasized that he wants to have fun and help other talent in his next venture. With several months remaining on his contract, Omega has the luxury of taking his time to make a decision. If he decides against signing with WWE, he can walk away with a significant payday, regardless of which company he chooses.
For Omega, the key factor in his decision-making process is finding a situation where he can have the most fun possible. He has already had a successful run with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and is currently recovering from an injury that required additional time to be tacked onto his contract. As his contract approaches its expiration date, Omega will need to weigh his options carefully.
While WWE might be an attractive option, Omega doesn’t necessarily need to jump at the first opportunity that comes his way. He can explore other options, including returning to AEW, if he believes it would be a better fit for him in terms of creative freedom and personal fulfillment. Ultimately, Omega’s decision will depend on what he feels will allow him to have the most fun and make a meaningful impact on the wrestling world.
As the situation continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see which direction Omega decides to take. Will Vince McMahon’s return scare him off, or will Omega remain committed to his goal of having fun and helping other talent? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Kenny Omega’s decision will have a significant impact on the future of professional wrestling.
