Kenny Omega completed a long journey when he defeated Kacuchika Okada at NJPW’s Dominion show to become IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. Now Omega is the top name in New Japan Pro Wrestling and is set to defend his new title at the Cow Palace this Saturday. Omega’s match at the G1 USA Special will not only be for his championship, but the leadership role in The Bullet Club is up for grabs as well.

WWE had Kenny Omega in their developmental territory for a short time when he performed in Deep South Wrestling, but he left in 2016 after only a year.

Omega previously told WrestlingINC’s Aaron Varble he feels he would do well in adapting to WWE’s environment. He was recently a guest on The Ross Report where The Cleaner was asked about the possibility of WWE and Omega joining forces down the line.

“I’ve been keeping up to date on kind of the goings on and I always at the very least look at the highlights of every show, both brands, 205 Live, and even the NXT stuff. I’m really happy for everyone that’s doing well there.

“I was able to work in a fantastic program with The New Day [at E3] and they really brought something special to that sort of feud because all three of those guys are very special athletes, they’re very special performers. They have a special kind of charisma. They know how to work the people, work for cameras, work for the TV. When I think about the possibilities of what it would be like if I could ever mix it up with some of those guys it gets me excited. because they are a lot of great performers.”

Omega continued discussing Superstars in WWE, but also stated how good the talent is in so many other promotions as well. He said it would be impossible to have a bad match at this point due to the rich talent available. It would also be a missed opportunity if he wasn’t able to eventually mix it up with some of the top names on WWE’s roster

“A lot of the guys that even though they came up through the indies you know we were in different stages of our lives and we never mixed it up together. I could say you know if I could work with Seth Rollins at some point in time that would be a lot of fun.

“So when I think about the possibilities of stuff like that it does get me excited. Now every promotion has so many good guys. There’s really no way I would have a bad time going almost anywhere because the depth of the talent is just so deep. WWE right now has a very great collection of talent with guys and I would feel like it’s a missed opportunity if I couldn’t work with them at some point.”

new day elite street fighter e3 video

The battle between New Day and The Elite at E3 in Los Angeles ended with lots of tears on Thursday — but not for the reason you’d think.

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks faced off against Xavier Woods, Big E and Kofi Kingston in a team battle exhibition live at E3 2018, playing Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.

The trash talking kicked off right away between the two teams, with Matt Jackson saying the Bucks would virtually superkick New Day back to WWE‘s midcard.

Nick Jackson went up first against Kofi, but was met with defeat. Next up was Kenny vs. E, and Omega swept their battle with ease. Xavier Woods played against Matt Jackson in the final round and was dominant in their encounter, leading his team to victory.

Omega then challenged Woods to a best of five battle and it was agreed that the loser would eat a habanero pepper. After an intense battle, Kenny was victorious.

Watch the full video (including Xavier AND Kenny both tearfully eating peppers) below.

After the beatdown by the Bullet Club, Styles got to his feet and bowed to the crowd it what really seemed like a farewell for Styles, who has competed in NJPW since 2014, and took leadership of the Bullet Club after Finn Balor left.

 

Wrestling Observer Radio reports that there were also rumors that Rocky Romero and Tama Tonga may be leaving NJPW as well, but there is no word on if they have given their notices. Tonga is the son of legend Haku/Meng.

The Young Bucks On WWE Trademarking ‘Too Sweet’ Hand Gesture

It was reported this week that WWE registered to trademark the NWO/Kliq ‘Too Sweet’ Hand gesture. New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s popular stable The Bullet Club uses the gesture.

The Bullet Club’s, The Young Bucks responded this week on Twitter and again on the microphone after their match at the FWE iPPV in Brooklyn on Wednesday. They cut a promo and said WWE will have to cut their hands off.

Here is some tweets of theirs and one Nick Jackson retweeted:

 

Many fans last night on Twitter during SmackDown believed that WWE took a shot at The Young Bucks during the Roman Reigns and Mark Henry segment. Henry told Reigns that young bucks like him think they know it all and done it all but haven’t been nowhere.

 

Sean “X-Pac” Waltman weighed in on WWE trying to trademark the symbol. Here is a exchange he had with Nick of The Young Bucks on Twitter:
