Kenny Omega has opened up on the war between AEW and WWE NXT starting next month.
He did so while in Singapore for a special SPW event by talking with SportsKeeda. Both shows will be going head-to-head with each other starting on Oct. 2 as they will be sharing the same time slot but on different networks.
AEW will be on TNT while NXT is on the USA Network. For Omega, he thinks there’s a big difference between the two programs and that’s the talent.
“You wanna call that a war, you wanna call that competition? Go ahead. Maybe it’s fun for you to do. That’s cool. But we’re different planets. And you’re going to see that right away, when you see 10000+ arenas sold out. You’re going to see smiles on fans’ faces. You’re going to see real stars. Not developmental talent but real stars appearing on your television sets, every week.”
Omega added:
“And yet, we are going to war. And yet, when I sit back and look at the grand picture, I’m going to war with these dudes that, if we were on the same show together, the same promotion…let’s pretend there were no borders. Let’s pretend there were no promotions. Let’s just pretend there’s just one big promotion. If these guys were in the same show as me, they’d be in the dark match. They’d be in the opening match of my main event match.”
