Could “The Cleaner” defend his newly won IWGP United States Championship in All Elite Wrestling?
Kenny Omega spoke about this possibility, as well as his thoughts on a potential showdown against Shingo Takagi, during a recent Tokyo Sports interview.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On how he wants to defend the belt in AEW as well as NJPW: “I want to [defend the belt] either [in] New Japan or AEW. When I was the US champion, I did a lot of defenses in Japan. So I want to do it not only in the United States, but also in Japan.”
On wanting to face Shingo Takagi: “Someday, I want to try with Shingo Takagi. Kenny & Keisuke Ishii and Takagi & YAMATO, [which took place] at DDG (Osaka on June 5, 2012) before I went to New Japan for the first time, are great. It was an interesting match. Ever since then, I thought I would be able to have a good singles match with him,” Kenny said. “I didn’t have a chance when I was in New Japan, but now Takagi is also on top. I think it’s the best timing.”
