Some stuff from a recent interview Omega had with the Observer Radio show.

He signed a 4 year deal too.
But he does say that he made sure his contract would allow him to do New Japan if that relationship ever comes together because they want to work with them.
Kenny says Ibushi has committments with his wrestling school in Japan (I didn't know he had one?) but he expects him to show up in AEW at some point, but not at Double or Nothing.
Towards the end he says something really interesting. Says that for the G1 when he faced Ibushi at the Budokan, they sold 144% of the building, while Tana/Okada on a different night had only sold 65%. Kenny says the New Japan office sent emails around saying that free tickets need to be given away for the Tana/Okada show because they can't have two guys from the indies (Kenny/Ibushi) outselling their home grown guys.
