5 next challengers for Kenny Omega's IMPACT World Title

Jay White confronts Kenny Omega
Jay White confronts Kenny Omega

At Slammiversary Kenny Omega defended his IMPACT World Title against Sami Callihan in a no DQ match in the main event of the evening. The AEW star came very close to losing one of the many title belts he possesses, but Ultimately IMPACT's Sami Callahan fell short.

Omega has been making a mockery of IMPACT Wrestling alongside the Good Brothers and former Impact head honcho Don Callis. Omega has beaten Moose, Rich Swann and Sami Callahan so far.

The Cleaner is certainly cleaning up IMPACT Wrestling's main event division and eventually the company will start running out of people to face him and try and win the title back, but they're not quite there yet.

So who will challenge Omega for the IMPACT World Title next? Here are five people who could legitimately face Kenny Omega for the title next.


#5. New Japan Pro Wrestling's Jay White could be after the IMPACT World Title

The most obvious next opponent for Kenny Omega's IMPACT World Title is Jay White due to the post-match confrontation that took place between the two to close Impact's Slammiversary.

The Forbidden Door in Wrestling was opened recently but it seems to be wide open now that the current leader of New Japan Pro Wrestling's Bullet Club is confronting the AEW World Champion and former leader of The Bullet Club inside an IMPACT Wrestling ring.

Omega and The Good Brothers threw up a 'Too Sweet' but White refused to reciprocate. This certainly seems to have teased a White Vs Omega match for the IMPACT World Title, and White could potentially put his Never Openweight Title on the line too.

We could even be getting a Bullet Club vs Former Bullet Club all-out war within the next year, which would truly be something! White and Omega certainly have history, as it was White beating Omega that led to him being kicked out of the Bullet Club, with White also going on to become the group's next leader.

#4. Josh Alexander uses his X-Division Title defense to go over Omega and the IMPACT World Title

At one point Josh Alexander feared for his career as a singles wrestler following the departure of his tag team partner Ethan Page from IMPACT. However, he's gone on to become one of the company's top singles stars.

This is evidenced by his successful defense of the X-Division Title at Slammiversary where he managed to take on all contenders and keep hold of the title he walked in with.

Typically in IMPACT Wrestling, the X-Division Champion can 'cash in' their title for a shot at the IMPACT World Title. That would make Josh Alexander Kenny Omega's next challenger.


#3. Adam 'Hangman' Page continues to be Omega's archenemy by taking the Impact World Title from him

Kenny Omega's next challenger in AEW looks set to be Adam 'Hangman' Page after a year-long redemption arc has come full circle for The Anxious Millennial Cowboy.

The two have started confronting each other on AEW Dynamite and look set to do battle over the AEW World Title at AEW All Out, with many assuming that Page will finally be the one to dethrone Omega, or at the very least kick out of the One Winged Angel.

But what if Adam 'Hangman' Page didn't stop there, and continually went after Kenny Omega's other titles too? Imagine Page being determined to completely take down Omega, so challenging him for the IMPACT World Title too.

#2. W. Morrissey is undefeated in IMPACT so could challenge for the world title

W. Morrissey has certainly made the most of his IMPACT tenure so far by proving to be an exceptionally dominant force as Violent by Design's biggest and meanest competitor.

He's won five singles matches, a handicap match and an eight-man tag-team match and doesn't look like he'll be losing anytime soon. Typically undefeated streaks lead to the main events and title matches.

So could we see the former Big Cass in WWE take on Kenny Omega for the Impact World Title? I certainly hope so because it could be interesting, especially as both men are in factions.


#1. Braun Strowman could make a surprise IMPACT debut to take on Kenny Omega

With Omega running through most of IMPACT wrestling top stars in defense of his IMPACT World Title, what if the company pulled in a ringer to become Omega's next challenger?

You could have Tommy Dreamer or another person in IMPACT Wrestling's authority tell The Cleaner that they won't be be announcing his opponent beforehand, and then surprise everyone with The Monster Among Men.

Braun Strowman would probably be Omega's biggest challenger yet, in both senses of the word, and we'll have to see Omega thinking outside the box. He likely won't be able to use The One Winged Angel on Strowman.
