Over the past few years, Tony Khan made rounds, adding a host of pay-per-views to their schedule. The number doubled from four to eight in 2023. But the needle over entity, Kenny Omega doesn’t deem it as a sureshot fruitful call at all. He thinks there should be an adequate time in between the PPVs for building up proper storylines and retaining the fans’ emotions in the long run. The PPV should be a special deal that doesn’t occur every alternative day. He feels the quality speaks louder than the quantity.
However, as Omega has a hand in making some important decisions for the company, he can change things to some extent in the future. But for now, we are looking forward to getting him back healed into the fray.
