Hulk Hogan On If He Thinks Kenny Omega Needs To Sign With WWE

Kenny Omega is the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion, and one of the biggest professional wrestling stars who is not currently part of the WWE roster.

Even though Omega is currently signed to a contract with NJPW, his contract will be expiring in a few months, and everyone’s wondering if he will end up signing with WWE.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan recently spoke to Sports Illustrated about Kenny Omega’s future, and noted that the momentum he’s built up in Japan could work to his advantage if he decided to make the jump.

“The momentum he is building in Japan only adds to how big a star he could be here in the States. He is built up to headline Wrestle Kingdom, which he’s already done, or WrestleMania. He already has years of TV exposure, so he’s familiar to the domestic audiences here in the States, and you could put him in the main event of next year’s WrestleMania.”

Hogan also added that he doesn’t think Kenny Omega needs to sign with WWE, but it would complete his story.

“Would I love to see him go to the WWE? Yes. Would I love to see him be used correctly? Yes. If he ever got lost in the mix, it would be a sad, sad story. But if there is a chance to sign him, Vince McMahon could be the guy to take him to the next level. If you don’t touch on the WWE, your story is not complete. But rules are made to be broken, and Kenny is such a big star that he could be the one to change all that. Kenny is such a big star that he doesn’t need to sign in New York, but it would complete the story if he went and dominated and had a hell of a run in WWE.”
