Kenny Omega recently addressed the recurring idea of a mixed tag team tournament in AEW during a Twitch stream. While AEW has experimented with mixed tag matches before, Omega noted that the concept continues to be floated from time to time. He said,
“I keep hearing every now and then, it’s tossed around. Every now and then in AEW, there are rumblings about doing a mixed tag tournament. It’s something that keeps coming up.”
He went on to say that if such a tournament were to happen, he’s more focused on potential tag team combinations than singles matchups. He said, “I’d put more thought into what a tag team would look like rather than what a singles would look like,” he explained. “Someone mentioned Mayu Iwatani — that’d be awesome. Having her team up with someone, or Starlight Kid teaming with someone — those are two of my favorites from Stardom right now. There are countless others. Chihiro Hashimoto — she’s incredible, too.”
