Kenny Omega announced on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio that that he has made his decision on his professional wrestling career and he will be staying with New Japan.
Omega said that despite people wanting him to appear in the Royal Rumble match, he will not be appearing in it. Omega would go on to explain that there are tons of terrific talent already in the match and he doesn’t want to ruin it.
In regards to New Japan, Omega said that he has not signed a new contract, however he is flying out in February to re-negotiate a contract. He said there is a small chance that things could go belly-up with Japan, but hinted that probably won’t happen.
Omega would then add that he plans to stay with New Japan for at least another year but he’s not signing a multi-year deal. He believes he could make a bigger impact in Japan right now than he could in WWE.
