Kenny Omega is one of the top stars in AEW. Currently part of a trio with The Young Bucks (collectively known as The Elite), Omega has named Claudio Castagnoli one of his dream opponents.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Omega stated that Castagnoli is a name he wants to work with. The reigning IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion also namedropped Samoa Joe. He said:
"And for another guy, I’d say if we want to just toss in another name, who I’d love to work with, Claudio Castagnoli. Yeah, he’s another one, and even, jeez, he’s number three, it’d be cool to wrestle Samoa Joe, probably."
Castagnoli is currently in a feud with long-term rival Eddie Kingston. The latter confronted the ROH World Champion and could challenge for the ROH World Championship after quitting AEW in kayfabe.
