Kenny Omega Says He Expected To Finish Career In Japan AEW’s Kenny Omega was the ‘run in’ on this weeks Wrestling With the Week podcast with James Willems and fellow AEW star Scorpio Sky. Omega talked about holding the AAA, Impact and AEW World Championships at the same time, as well as the fact that he never saw himself becoming this successful in American wrestling. In fact, he never saw himself wrestling full time in America period. “It’s very odd,” Omega said. “If you had asked me how I see myself years from now, I never would’ve said ‘I’m going to be a full time wrestler in America.’ I thought for sure I was going to retire in Japan, possibly live, (actually) I wouldn’t even say possibly. I was heavily leaning towards living in Japan for the rest of my days. Of course visiting Canada and maybe doing the odd here in America because we (New Japan) were trying to do the crossover anyway. So it’s really surprising. It just goes to show you can never really plan for these things, 100% anyway. You can never really plan for this phenomena that is AEW, you can never plan for the pandemic, but we’re just sort of rolling with the punches.
