IMPACT Wrestling star Eddie Edwards recently opened up about a possible match with AEW Champion Kenny Omega. He has never squared off in a singles match with Omega in his storied career.
Apart from being at the top of the mountain in AEW, Kenny Omega is also the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion. He won the gold at Rebellion 2021 in a title vs. title match against Rich Swann. After defending his title against Moose recently, Omega will now be challenged by Sami Callihan at Slammiversary 2021.
In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Eddie Edwards revealed that despite being on the same show multiple times, he and Omega have never crossed paths. He pointed our their similar career trajectories, saying they first performed on the indie circuit before heading to Japan and eventually returning to the USA:
“We’ve been on some of the same shows together, but we’ve never wrestled each other in a singles match,” Edwards said. “In a lot of ways, we took a similar path. We tried to do our thing in the indies, we both went to Japan. I got a chance to thrive in Pro Wrestling NOAH, which is what he did in DDT, and then later in New Japan. He went on to win the IWGP title. I won the GHC title. To me, it’s hard to deny that we have career similarities.”
