You are Kenny Omega, Your NJPW Contract is up next week, what do you do?

[The Great One]

Take the guaranteed Millions from Vince and Company?

Or Join your friends in a company that hasn't even started yet, with no TV deal, and a roster of like 10 guys?

I know all of you are going to say sign with AEW, but, Kenny is old now man, he is 35. He isn't 25. If I was him, I would take the most money, and talk Triple H into limited Dates, and a huge share of merchandise sales, like a Rey Mysterio Type deal. Rey has always gotten more shares of his merch then anyone else.

Triple H is desperate as fukk right now. He struck out with the Bucks after 12 hours of negotiations, struck out with Cody (like who even wants with him without the Bucks anyway), lost out on Adam Page and Bandido.

If I was Triple H, I am giving this guy whatever he wants just to break up the circle of friends.

He's going to be offered a big contract from AEW. I'm sure he could make more in WWE if he was elevated to an AJ Styles level but think about this..

- Good money
- Working with your friends
- Creative freedom
- lighter schedule

I don't see why he wouldn't at least try AEW and see where it goes.

Omega is going to be in Vegas in about a week & a half announcing his signing with AEW

 

[Makai Club]

Considering the benefits, AEW is worth the gamble. Even if the company were to fail, it's not like there won't be another offer waiting for him from WWE or NJPW.

1 year deal with aew

I stay with New Japan and get a huge deal that pays him like Okada for half (or less) dates, plus merch money and outside bookings. NJ is even more desperate than WWE to sign him, if Kenny would give them hope they would offer him a crazy deal.

 

[Killah Ray]

As a fan, I'd hope for the E...because I want to see him wrestle someone new and MJF ain't it....

I was going to put New Japan as an option too, but I feel like he has done everything there.

What is he going to do have another 10 matches with Okada?

 

[LastManStanding]

Leverage his popularity to get a 2-3 year deal from Vince and lock in a couple million dollars a year. GET PAID AND SAVE THAT MONEY.

the marks aren't gonna be paying his bills 20 years from now, but 2 or 3 years in the WWE will.

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

no offense but i'm lost here.

isn't' there already a huge thread speculating where Kenny was going to go?

 

[Superkick Party]

Go to NOAH

Give me Omega vs Marufuji again Omega vs Nakajima, Omega vs Tanaka

It'd be a smart move.if he's looking to get paid and maximize his leverage. NJPW is THIRSTY for a steady US presence, and it's clear they were convinced he was the guy to make it happen. That kind of deal with outside bookings, and ability to be an "ambassador" to AEW to work on any crossover would be ideal for almost everyone involved.

On his end the risk comes in figuring out how long their leash is with AEW. They're spending a billionaire's money, but I can guarantee you that if it doesn't start trending in the right direction profit wise in what Khan sees as a timely manner he'll be ready to cut bait.

Its backed by a guy with more cash than Vince. Why you continually downplay AEW is beyond me but he isnt going to the E no matter what you think AEW will wind up being

 

[TRIPLE M]

Sign a short term contract to wrestle for ROH( like the Hardys did) and headline MSG
