Kenny Omega believes All Elite Wrestling will continue to rank among the top wrestling companies in the world, citing the strength and depth of its roster.

Omega is set to challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship at AEW Dynasty, scheduled for April 12 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The match marks Omega’s opportunity to begin his second reign as champion, having previously held the title from 2020 to 2021.

Speaking with Undisputed ahead of the event, Omega reflected on AEW’s seven-year journey and pointed to key milestones that helped shape the promotion’s identity, including partnerships that brought international wrestling styles to a broader audience.

“There were a lot of great steps along the way,” Omega said. “One that really sticks out is when we reached a point where we had an official partnership with New Japan and CMLL, and we were willing, able, and eager to show the various professional wrestling styles of the world to our American fans and international fans. That was a main goal for me. I wanted people to experience all the different types of professional wrestling.”

Omega acknowledged that not every decision has worked out but emphasized the company’s ability to recover due to its talent pool.

“Very rarely did I feel like we took steps backward. You take pride in your work, so when we did, those were crushing. Not everything works, but wrestling has a circular momentum. So when something didn’t work out, we have the roster to turn it around. That’s the case now more than ever. This is a roster with a dedication to the art and sport of wrestling. That’s why we’ll always be in the conversation of the best professional wrestling company in the world.”

Omega earned his title opportunity by defeating Swerve Strickland in a high-stakes match where his AEW EVP role was also on the line.

Before Dynasty, Omega is also scheduled to compete on Dynamite in his hometown of Winnipeg on April 1. He will team with Brody King and Jack Perry in a trios match against The Opps, featuring Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona.
