Independent Career
In 2001, Omega's journey began in Premier Championship Wrestling (PCW), where he quickly made a name for himself, winning championships and competing for the TNA X Division Championship. Despite a stint in WWE's developmental territory, Deep South Wrestling, Omega faced challenges and chose to remain independent, returning to professional wrestling after briefly exploring mixed martial arts.
Following his WWE release, 2008 marked a pivotal year for Omega. He won the JAPW Heavyweight Championship, participated in Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournaments, and formed the Golden Lovers tag team with Kota Ibushi. His involvement in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) showcased a mix of triumphs and setbacks, including winning the Battle of Los Angeles in 2009.
Fast-forward to November 2022, and Omega's return to New Japan Pro-Wrestling was triumphant. Challenging and defeating IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay at Wrestle Kingdom 17, Omega secured the title for the second time. However, his reign was short-lived as he dropped the title to Ospreay at Forbidden Door in June.
Concurrently, Omega's stature in the wrestling world grew, evident in his role as an executive vice president and in-ring talent for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since signing a four-year contract on February 7, 2019.
