Kenny Omega, a major name on the WWE's most wanted list.

If you’ve played any of the MyCareer modes in WWE 2K games or listened to a standard Bayley promo, then you’ve heard this story told a thousand times. They’ve watched WWE since they were little kids, wrestled in high school gyms and armouries and then eventually achieving their dream by being signed to the WWE. It's a very nice feel-good story. Except for the fact that it's missing a few key details.

When WWE tried to tell the story on the successful Network series WWE Breaking Ground, it primarily focused on signees that were training to become pro wrestlers. These were essentially homegrown talent, consisting mostly of ex-footballers and models that WWE had picked up to train from the ground up. None or very little time was dedicated to the major independent and international stars that WWE had signed.

And that’s where the real story is, the signing of a new talent. Preferably of a big independent or international name too. Take a name like Kenny Omega for example. A major international star who’s been on WWE’s Christmas list of talent scouting for a while now. How would you tell the story of Kenny Omega becoming a WWE Superstar? Let's do a quick documentary version of fantasy booking.

Ideally, you’d want to start with Omega meeting with WWE Officials to sign the contract. Obviously, you don’t have to show every meeting and all the negotiations, just the official contract being signed. Once that’s settled, we get to follow the final days of Omega’s run in Japan as an independent wrestler. From working his last match in Korakuen Hall to relocating to Full Sail, we’d get a true look at what the real sacrifices of joining the WWE empire truly are. Eventually, you would end it with Omega making his debut. Whether that would be in NXT or on the main roster is up for the WWE to decide.

At the end of the day, it would still be a more entertaining and realistic story than training with Tensai and Enzo Amore at the Performance Center for 15 minutes and debuting in NXT the same day. Not saying any names…(Glares at WWE 2K18)
