WWE Reportedly Had Major Plans For Top AEW Star

It’s been a big week for professional wrestling as it was officially announced that The Elite have signed multi-year deals that will keep them with AEW. Over the last few months it’s been reported that WWE had interest in potentially signing members of The Elite and it looks like Kenny Omega was someone who the company wanted on the roster.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that no formal offers could have been made to Omega because he’s under contract with AEW, but Kenny was number one on WWE’s most wanted list.

One person with knowledge of WWE’s interest in Kenny Omega stated that he would have been in the mix with top level guys like Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. However, they also noted that in regard to long-term physical durability Seth Rollins likely would have had more time in the role of best in-ring wrestler in the company than Omega would have had.

Fans have long speculated about how The Elite would be used in WWE if they decided to join the company, but at this point it seems that we may never know.
