Kenny Omega looks to be leaving NJPW
"There is no real place for me to fit, so it’s best for me not to be in (NJPW). I can’t be there working under Tanahashi. I don’t think he’s surpassed me, don’t think he’s better. If we can, I want to face him again. But I need time away, and not just from New Japan."
That is from a Twitter post he put up. Talk is that he's signed a deal with either WWE or the new All Elite Wrestling (AEW). As much as I would love to see him in WWE, I just can't see it happening. He'll go to AEW along with his friends who own it.
Also I found the Tweet to be quite funny, as he comes across as a bit of a baby. If he doesn't like that they put someone over him that he doesn't think is better than him, then WWE is definitely not for him!

Admin and 4CW Head Booker · 5,103 commentsI can see him going to WWE. After Styles, anyone is possible.
Also I think he’s working you with those tweets lol. He sticks to kayfabe pretty well especially about Japan.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!

I would be wary of his going to WWE though, as that would be just for the money I would think. I doubt very much that he'd be happy having to work under someone like Brock Lesner for instance. I would think that someone like Kenny Omega would be better served in a company like AEW, at least for the short term, as it would allow him freedom to try things out, work in new gimmicks and generally have some fun before getting back down to the business again and then maybe going for a WWE contract. It would also help him and WWE in seeing exactly how much value he could bring to a company too I think. If he goes to AEW and people flock to the company, then WWE know they have a potential cash cow and Kenny knows he can name a price. If they don't, well, I'm sure NJPW would have him back, cus at that point I doubt the dub would be interested.

Administrator · 1,175 commentsHis tweets were actually kayfabe... that's how the Japanese promotions do it.
anyways he is signing with AEW or just resigning with NJPW.
WWE wanted him... tried pretty damn hard and offered a great deal.. but he kindly declined as did the bucks and hangman page.... i guess all of them got great offers though.
