Kenny Omega Says AEW Is Still Developing Face Of Women’s Division

In a Q&A on his Twitter account, Kenny Omega said that AEW is still working on developing the face of their women’s division. Riho is currently the champion and retained her title in two straight weeks of Dynamite. Here are highlights:

On the AEW women’s division: “Still developing the face of the division, but Riho’s proven to be an inspiration to many, Shida is the complete package, and Kris has shown that she has the tools to take the div to another level.”

On criticism of the division: “Lately, most ‘criticisms’ I read are incredibly ignorant. Depressing the amount of fans that have absolutely no class. That being said, I do try to sift through those to get to the actual constructive criticism.”

On who he wants in AEW: “Anyone with enthusiasm that’s can step up and hang with the top guys.”

On his dream match list: “Kurt Angle, Mankind, Kenta Kobashi …. it’s a list that would get pretty long.”

Coolest part is seeing people that you’ve believed in be introduced into a new environment and win over scores of new fans.

He tends to need months of practice before attempting to challenge my natural ability, so I’m just hanging out on stand by

I think we’ve shown that we can be, But I also believe we need to show it more often and more emphatically.

My goal was unity but strangely my toughest adversary hasn’t been office big wigs or fellow performers, it’s fans that prefer hostility in the world and want to both love and hate something equally.

We’ve been working together for years and have a great natural chemistry. My other partner is unfortunately busy with another promotion 😅
