With only months remaining on his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling, the talk about reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega possibly making the move to the WWE continues with many fans still wondering if he will ever take that leap.

‘The Cleaner’ recently spoke with Justin Barasso for Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard and addressed that topic among others, speaking about possible opponents for him in the WWE and if he believes he would be allowed to be himself should he jump ship:

“I realize that there are people that are employed by that promotion that I could have a good match with. There are people within that promotion where, if we had that said match, could generate multiple communities celebrating the performance. That’s what happened when the Bucks and I did the gaming battle with the New Day. If I wrestled one of their top guys, people would watch that match in the anticipation of something great happening.

But right now, it’s all, ‘What if?’ fantasy scenarios. It’s going to stay that way until it happens, if it ever even happens, because you never know what type of limitations are going to be placed on those matches. If Kenny Omega is allowed to be Kenny Omega, then those matches would be really special. Would I be allowed to be myself, the real Kenny Omega, within that realm? In a way, it’s almost more exciting to think about what it could be rather than see what it would be.”
