At the recent C2E2 Event in Chicago, Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks were part of The All Elite Wrestling discussion panel where they spoke about a number of topics including which WWE Superstars they have had their eyes on to potentially sign to AEW one day.
Kenny Omega would say, “Female-wise, obviously, I want Candice LeRae,” Matt began. “[For male], this is a safe answer because he just re-signed, AJ Styles.”
“Candice for sure would be the goal,” Nick added, “and I’ll go with Kevin Owens.”
“There are a ton of fantasy matches that sometimes you just won’t be able to see because worlds can’t, or won’t, collide,” Omega explained. “I still do believe in a future where they will [collide]. I’m crazy that way. For a female superstar, this is going to be a little biased on this one. This is something that came off the top of my head because I think she’s very talented but also a very kind soul, and that’s Kairi Sane…For the male, I don’t want any repeats. Everyone knows that I wanted AJ, I want him bad. But man, I’ve wanted to work more in-depth, and I guess it’s not one guy, but I really want to work more with New Day.”
Kenny Omega also talked about the possibility of facing either John Cena or Seth Rollins one day, as seen below:
“If we’re talking about fantasy opponents and all that, I don’t know, I really want to wrestle guys like John Cena or Seth Rollins,” Kenny said. “These guys that have got a little bit of chip on their shoulder. And I don’t mean that I want to show that I’m better or anything, I just want to work with these alpha-male-type dudes, ya know? I want to work with guys that really think that they’re the best: guys that have shown that they maybe are in the conversation for being the best. I think that makes magic.”
Even though the event took place in Chicago, this didn’t mean that CM Punk will be joining AEW sometime in the future, but The Bucks made it clear that CM Punk is always welcome to join the promotion, as seen below:
“I wish [we were signing CM Punk],” Nick said.
“I love CM Punk,” Matt continued. “I think [whether or not he’s signing] may be better to ask him.”
AEW’s next show, Double Or Nothing, takes place on May 25th from The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
