It remains to be seen where the future will take Kenny Omega, but according to Omega himself, he doesn’t have a plan in place right now, as he’s taking the time to weigh all his options.
there is no plan. My schedule is cleared and I'm weighing all options. I've a lot to consider. Thx for the patience/support

The obvious question everyone will be asking about Kenny Omega’s future is whether or not he will be heading to WWE.
Prior to his match at Wrestle Kingdom 11, Kenny Omega spoke with Sports Illustrated and told them that he would rather be the legend that never stepped foot in a WWE ring.
“I would rather be the legend that never stepped foot in WWE but was better than every single one of them and did something that none of those guys could do in their prime or could ever do if they left WWE and tried.”
Omega did another interview with Sports Illustrated after Wrestle Kingdom 11, and he expressed a desire to take NJPW to new heights.
“I want to take New Japan into a new world of wrestling so there is at least one other option to the monopolized world that WWE has created.”
The above quotes from his recent interviews seem to indicate that he doesn’t have much interest in WWE at this time, but there are without a doubt quite a few fans out there who would like to see him work with the company.
What does the future hold for Kenny Omega? We’ll just have to wait and see.
