AEW superstar Kenny Omega recently interviewed with Sportskeeda Wrestling where the former IWGP Heavyweight champion had some choice words regarding the upcoming AEW/NXT war.
Omega states that it’s hard to call the Wednesday night battle a war when many of the NXT roster are his friends, but goes on to say that if they were all on the same promotion they’d be in dark matches while he would be the main event.
“You can call it a war if you want. It’s like, to me, we’re in a completely different kind of business. I mean what they’re doing is different from what we’re doing. It’s weird, because it’s hard to say you’re going to war with people that I call my friends. And yet, we are going to war. And yet, when I sit back and look at the grand picture, I’m going to war with these dudes that, if we were on the same show together, the same promotion…let’s pretend there were no borders. Let’s pretend there were no promotions. Let’s just pretend there’s just one big promotion. If these guys were in the same show as me, they’d be in the dark match. They’d be in the opening match of my main event match.”
