Kenny Omega appeared on CBC’s Front Burner podcast with host Jayme Poisson to promote tonight’s AEW debut in Winnipeg.
During the podcast, he was asked directly if going to WWE is something that appeals to him as his AEW deal will expire sometime this year after the promotion extended the contract due to the time he missed last year. He was supposed to be a free agent in January.
Omega: “I think at this point anything new appeals to me and challenges also always, always appeal to me. At one point it was one of those, ‘if you say I can’t do it, I really want to do it’. Now it’s not that, I wouldn’t say I’m older and wiser it’s more like, I’m older and I care less about that it’s more about what kinds of people can I reach. What kind of positive thing can I contribute? And, what do I even feel best suited for?”
Host: “So maybe, I guess is the answer?”
Omega: “Right. I mean, again it’s all place and time like we haven’t even reached that time yet.”
Omega: “I always kind of try to find my own way or at least try to lean in the direction of where my heart is pulling me, and right now, I’m taking one step at a time, and with this Winnipeg show it feels like ‘yeah this feels right’ and what’s next? I don’t know because nothing has spoken to me, nothing has told me this is what you need to do. The spidey sense hasn’t been triggered yet.”
