Kenny Omega is the AEW World Champion and also serves as one of the EVP’s for the promotion. Omega and the entire executive team of AEW have worked hard to make unreal partnerships come to life, such as the one with NJPW.

Today, Tony Khan’s promotion has a working relationship with three major wrestling promotions. Namely, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, and Impact Wrestling. Amid all the partnerships and crossovers, there is one promotion everyone is sure won’t shake hands with AEW, and that is WWE.

But what if we told you that too could happen? Sounds unreal, but the ‘AEW EVP’ in Kenny Omega is optimistic about it.

As of now, we’re only seeing Tony Khan or other AEW talent take shots at WWE as and when they get a chance. One can only hope that Kenny’s belief comes true soon, and this promotional rivalry is put to bed for good.
