White being both the AEW World Champion and Cole’s avatar in “The Devil” storyline might have been a great way for White to renew his acquaintance with Kenny Omega. 

At Full Gear 2023, Omega was teaming with Chris Jericho to defeat the Young Bucks and earn a future World Tag Team title shot opportunity – that opportunity never came, with Omega wrestling his last match in December before being sidelined with diverticulitis until this year. That only provides a small window for them to feud, but given Omega had already challenged MJF for the World Championship in the months before it wouldn’t be too farfetched an idea that they have one match and a brief interaction. 

That also puts White and Cole in the picture as potential catalysts for the dissent between Omega and the Bucks at the time. What that would have meant is a mystery but that could have been interesting on account of the respective relationships between Cole, White, and the Bucks stemming back to their time in ROH and NJPW. And when that was all said and done, there would be another member of The Elite waiting in the wings to pick up their saga: “Hangman” Adam Page. 

Page and White actually clashed at Full Gear in 2024, with Page getting his first singles victory over him that night. White had beaten him on “AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday” in 2023, so perhaps Page would have come calling for vengeance sooner if the title had been at stake. Maybe White could have factored into Page’s feud with Swerve Strickland much in the same way Joe had at Revolution 2024, and perhaps that would have set about an entirely different situation when it came to the World title change at Dynasty 2024.
