7 Reasons Kenny Omega might have chosen AEW over WWE

#1 Lingering resentment

Kenny Omega during his WWE developmental days.

As many fans know, Kenny Omega has, in fact, been under contract with the WWE in the past. However, he never appeared on any of their major brands and spent time in their then-developmental territory Deep South Wrestling.

While his experience wasn't all bad--Omega credits Squire Dave Taylor with really helping to improve his in-ring work--overall Omega was left with a sour taste in his mouth. Part of the problems stemmed from Bill "Hugh Morris" DeMott, who was known to rub many recruits the wrong way and led to the departure of wrestlers such as EC3.

Omega may also have run afoul of former OVW head Jim Cornette, who continues to revile the Cleaner to this day. The fact of the matter is, Omega might still harbour some resentment from his former WWE contract days, and that could make AEW the more attractive option to him. There you have it; Seven reasons Kenny Omega might be choosing AEW over the WWE.
