After his horrendous experience with WWE’s developmental brand DSW, Kenny Omega was seemingly on the verge of retiring from Professional Wrestling and despite a run in the world of MMA, Omega’s passion and motivation for Pro Wrestling had eventually died.

Omega reportedly also got himself a full-time job at an airport, however, prior to his all-together retirement from Pro Wrestling, Omega had one last match in himself when a local promoter booked him in a one-on-one match against AJ Styles and the former had made up his mind to wrestle the match and retire afterward.
