Kenny Omega: I Want Hiroshi Tanahashi To Be My Partner When I Get My Revenge On The Young Bucks

Kenny Omega wants to team with The Ace.

The Ace and Omega reunited for the first time and spoke about many topics. One of them included Kenny Omega opening up about his potential return to the ring, and how he wants to get revenge on the Young Bucks with Hiroshi Tanahashi as his tag team partner.

“First priority is making my return, but if I can come back, I do want to face the Bucks. I want revenge, but more importantly, I want to do it the right way. The first time Tanahashi and I wrestled, it was for the belt, and then in 2019 it was a lot on the line for the both of us. Now, with the two of us aligned, next time we wrestle, I’d want to do it together. I’ve been a bad guy for a lot of my time, especially in AEW. I cheated to win the AEW title. I don’t want that to be the memory of myself that stays with young fans. If Tanahashi and I meet in that ring again, I’d want to do it as his partner.” Omega said to NJPW.

The first time Tanahashi and Omega battled each other, it was for the Intercontinental Championship that Shinsuke Nakamura made vacant after he, the Good Brothers, and AJ Styles departed from New Japan to join the WWE. Omega went on to defeat the Ace in a not-so-clean way to win the gold for the first time in his career.
