Earlier today, it was announced that The Elite, consisting of Kenny Omega, Adam Page, and the Young Bucks, have signed new deals with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). These contracts will keep them with the company for the foreseeable future, and they will continue their roles as wrestlers and Executive Vice Presidents (EVPs) of AEW.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Omega shared his thoughts on the decision to re-sign with AEW and reflected on the company’s inception in 2019. He emphasized that their main goal was to create a wrestling alternative and provide a platform for talented individuals who deserved a spotlight.
Omega expressed his satisfaction with the progress they have made in achieving that goal, stating, “I feel like we did our best in that time, and hopefully some people you’d never heard of pre-AEW are folks you enjoy watching today. Or if you knew them from their previous work elsewhere, have maybe found a new appreciation for them.” He also mentioned that the feeling of knowing they can provide for themselves and their families by doing what they love has been the biggest reward of being an EVP and founder of AEW.
The talented wrestler also expressed his love for the diversity of professional wrestling and how AEW offers him the best opportunity to explore different types of matchups. He highlighted AEW’s working relationships with other promotions around the world, which allow him to challenge all forms of pro wrestling and diversify his style to be prepared for any scenario he may encounter in the ring.
Omega acknowledged the global presence of pro wrestling and his desire to experience the styles of the world at their highest level. He believes that AEW’s current and future working relationships will enable him to achieve this goal. The freedom to pursue other passions in life is another perk that Omega values and is unwilling to give up on.
He stated, “Up to this point, I’ve made the choice to sacrifice everything in the name of pro wrestling. I can’t say that family or my kids influenced the decision to stay with AEW-I’m not married and without kids-but what I can say is that I’m incredibly proud of my match catalog and the wonderful people I’ve met and continue to meet. AEW not only allows me to continue doing what I do at a high level but allows the freedom to pursue some other passions I have in life-which, after nearly 25 years in the ring, have become more and more important to me.”
Omega’s decision to remain with AEW has significant implications for the company and its fans. His commitment to diversifying his style and pursuing other passions demonstrates his dedication to his craft and the promotion. Fans can catch Omega and the Young Bucks in action on the 200th episode of AEW Dynamite tonight.
