In a recent interview with Fight Game Media, Callis himself revealed that Omega would have been an IMPACT star right now if it wasn’t for AEW’s call.
“I’ll say this: If AEW had not come into play … Kenny Omega would have come into Impact Wrestling. Not that he ever agreed to it, but it’s something that Scott D’Amore and I would have made happen,” admitted Callis.

If AEW had not entered the scene, we would most probably have seen Omega competing in IMPACT Wrestling. Callis admits that nothing was really agreed upon. Although, he and co-executive Vice President Scott D’Amore would have put in the work to rope him in.
Don Callis recently commentated on the match involving Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page. Once again, he proved exactly why he is an asset to any promotion that has his signature.
