Kenny Omega Reveals AEW is Considering Plans for New Tournament

Comicbook.com held a recent interview with Kenny Omega and one of the topics discussed included Omega revealing that AEW is currently planning to hold a tournament similar in idea to New Japan Pro Wrestling’s month-long tournaments.

“Every one of those tournaments, they’re rough on the body and it’s tough to figure out a schedule to do so. Whether it be a round robin tournament, a league style or one night we are definitely looking into a tournament format because people, as a [myself] fan even, I love tournaments. As, a performer they’re tough to do, but I think it really tests the athletes’ mettle and it really separates the men from the boys. Yeah, I would love to do a tournament. I don’t know what we’d call it. Don’t have any ideas for a name, but all of us have been brought on board with tournament. It’s just a matter of figuring out how.”
