Kenny Omega has made it clear that getting back into the AEW World Title picture is his top goal.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with The Sportster<\/em>, Omega said winning the AEW World Championship again can be the final word personal victory over the health issues he\u2019s faced.<\/p>\n

You possibly can take a look at some highlights from the interview below:<\/p>\n

On getting back into the world title picture: <\/strong>\u201cWhether it’s MJF or whether it’s anyone else, my goal absolutely is to be in that conversation. I need to be in that heavyweight title conversation because \u2014 not that I feel like I want to have one other reign with that belt. I just feel like now that I\u2019ve come back after some very complicating issues with my health, I need to push myself so far as I can go.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if that takes me to the conversation of being a major event player, great. But what\u2019s even higher is being that major event guy that truly can win, can hold a belt, can represent an organization. To me, that will be the final word victory over this sickness that I\u2019ve needed to incur. For me, it\u2019s a private battle, absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the present field of world title contenders: <\/strong>\u201cI feel like especially now, because I\u2019ve been here because the starting \u2014 this might be essentially the most exciting for me that the title scene has been. And I mean that via the quantity of competitors vying for the belt.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes you\u2019ll have a champion, and also you\u2019ll know who\u2019s gunning for it, and that\u2019s going to be the story for the long term. We now have MJF as our champion, but it surely could easily be Darby [Allin]. It could easily be Kyle Fletcher. It could easily be [Konosuke] Takeshita, Kevin Knight, [Kazuchika] Okada. Who knows? Perhaps it could possibly be me. It could possibly be [Will] Ospreay. Swerve [Strickland]. We now have so many possibilities where if that belt went around their waist, it wouldn\u2019t look odd. It wouldn\u2019t look misplaced, and I’d feel that the corporate is in good hands. I feel it\u2019s the primary time where we\u2019ve had near almost 10 guys where you can put that belt on, and it\u2019s going to be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

On how he\u2019s feeling physically: <\/strong>\u201cI mean, it still goes daily. I actually have good days, I actually have bad days. But generally speaking, it\u2019s moving in a positive trajectory. So I feel like how I felt once I got here back is leagues different than how I feel now.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his mental state heading into AEW Forbidden Door: <\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s great to have the ability to feel confident and commit to having the ability to have these singles matches that I\u2019ve desired to have. Because otherwise it\u2019s either I’d have to essentially just dumb down my schedule rather a lot, or simply sort of stop showing up. Which, , nobody really desires to do but health comes first. It\u2019s paramount.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I\u2019m very glad that things have gone within the direction they’ve and that I feel the way in which that I do right before Forbidden Door. Because otherwise, I don\u2019t know the way else there can be a probability to wrestle against Zack Sabre, Jr. In order that\u2019s very fortunate for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his history with Zack Sabre Jr: <\/strong>\u201cSo, the last time I imagine I had a match against Zack was about eight years ago. And I used to be very pleased with that match, but fortunately, it was in considered one of the smaller country towns that that we run. It\u2019s still available online; I\u2019m sure you can find it on Recent Japan World. I just don\u2019t think it\u2019s available on things like YouTube or the like. But once I wrestled Zack, it was very different. I mean, it\u2019s all the time styles make fights, right? That\u2019s that\u2019s what they all the time say.<\/p>\n

\u201cZack has a really unique style that he has perfected. I’d say he\u2019s the master of it; that\u2019s why loads of people consider him the best technical wrestler living straight away on the planet. And a few people can have some favorable and nice things to say about me, but I can admit and I\u2019m humble enough to confess that I’m nowhere near Zack\u2019s proficiency in technical wrestling. So I do think that the clash that we\u2019re going to see goes to guide to some interesting interactions.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Zack Sabre Jr: <\/strong>\u201cZach is \u2014 he\u2019s achieved some incredible things since that point. He\u2019s develop into very talked-about. I imagine \u2014 and I could possibly be incorrect on this, so don\u2019t take this as gospel. But I feel he\u2019s had the longest Tokyo Dome major event of all time. possibly. It\u2019s up there, it was like 49 minutes or something like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this guy can go, he\u2019s a proven commodity. And as all the time, I never prefer to assume that everybody knows who everybody is. I do know we’ve streaming services, we’ve ways to view things all around the globe, on a regular basis, at any time, at your leisure. Nonetheless, for the folks that don\u2019t know who Zack is, and that is going to be your first time seeing a Zack Sabre, Jr. match, I feel you\u2019re in for a treat because he does things that nobody else on the planet does.\u201d<\/p>\n
