5 reasons why WWE teasing Kenny Omega in the Rumble is a bad idea

Ruins the surprise

John Cena got a highly favorable reaction for his surprise return in 2008.

Let’s just get this one out of the way and, for argument’s sake, assume that Kenny Omega is actually going to be signed with the WWE by the Royal Rumble and appear in that match. This would be almost identical to the way AJ Styles entered the WWE a year ago.

Wouldn’t it have been better for there to be no official recognition of Kenny Omega’s path to the company? Fans would have lost their minds if the WWE had pretended Kenny Omega didn’t exist until his music hit and “The Cleaner” strolled out to take his place in one of the company’s top events. That opportunity is lost now over a brief clip in an online video.
