All Elite Wrestling is off to a hot start after officially launching on New Year’s Eve, and the current roster boasts talents such as Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, Hangman Page, PAC and more.
One name who has been rumored to be joining the company since its emergence is Kenny Omega, and during Thursday night’s Double Or Nothing ticket announcement party in Las Vegas, it was confirmed that Omega has in fact signed a full-time deal with AEW. In addition to signing on as a performer, Omega will also work as an Executive Vice President in the company.
Omega had offers on the table from every major promotion in the world, including WWE, but in the end, The Cleaner chose to sign with AEW because he wanted to “change the world.”
After making the announcement that he has arrived in AEW, Kenny Omega was confronted by Chris Jericho, which lead to a massive brawl between the two stars in Las Vegas. It was then announced that at Double Or Nothing, Jericho and Omega will once again face each other in a singles match.
