Kenny Omega joins AEW, confronted by Chris Jericho

It was revealed after Wrestle Kingdom 13 that Kenny Omega was leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling. The former IWGP World Champion had two paths he could take at that moment. He could join his friends in AEW and build something from the ground up, or he could go to the WWE, a road he was seemingly destined for.

After months of speculation, it was finally revealed that Kenny Omega was joining his Elite brothers in All Elite Wrestling. Omega announced that he had just "put pen to paper" this morning, and had signed on full time with the company. Not only that, but he is an Executive Vice President as well.

Omega said that the journey to this moment began back in 2016 when he and the Young Bucks called themselves The Elite. Sadly, in order to continue their journey, their time in Japan had to come to an end. Omega promised to give fans something different.

He tried to explain what he meant when he said he wanted to change the world. He said that the fans proved they knew what he meant when they sold out All In last summer. Today, with AEW, he hoped the fans would join him again in trying to change the world.

At that moment, Chris Jericho came out and confronted Omega. After a brief staredown, fists went flying. They were immediately pulled apart by Rhodes, Daniels, and the rest of the crew.
