Speaking on Wrestling with the Week, Omega revealed how he feels with three heavy crowns on his head, and what it is like being the MVP of the wrestling world right now.

“It’s a blessing and a curse. As champion, you get some high-quality matches and you’re the focal point of the shows, but at the same time, there is a schedule that is required and a demand for your body and health and psychological health,” he admitted.

“There is a demand that goes into being a champion. It’s cool to look at pictures and be like, ‘wow, look at all these belts,’ but then I think, ‘Man, I have to defend these and make time to defend these’. I have to be that guy for the company and you just count the days and weeks that you’re available to do it,” Omega explained. “It’s requiring a lot of multi-tasking. I’m hanging on and I can do it right now, so I’m going to do it.” ( h/t Fightful )

Kenny Omega has three different title defenses coming up!

The AEW icon is clearly making the absolute most of his prime and is standing tall in the spotlight. However, as most cases show, it is easy to get to the top; holding the position is a different ball game and Omega is just getting started.

He will have to defend his AEW Championship first at Double or Nothing against Orange Cassidy and PAC, after which Moose awaits him for an Impact World Championship rematch. He will then have to head over to defend his AAA Mega Championship against a re-invigorated Andrade at TripleMania, and it’s hard to imagine him heading out of this carnage with all three belts intact in his hands.
