"Expect some big surprises" - 25-year-old star drops a hint at massive AEW debut to fight Kenny Omega
Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega is in the crosshairs of a major star from another company.
AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo was set to challenge Kenny Omega last year when the latter was the Mexican promotion's world champion. The Best Bout Machine had to relinquish the title after holding it for 765 days due to multiple upcoming surgeries.
Vikingo won the title in a 5-way match at AAA Triplemanía Regia II in December 2021. His match against the AEW EVP was highly anticipated, and fans are likely to welcome a future match between the two.
Speaking to Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture, the 25-year-old star said the following about a potential future match against Kenny Omega.
“The third time’s the charm. It’s now been two occasions that Kenny Omega and I were gonna wrestle, but for this and that, it wasn’t able to happen, but now I have the Visa. So if he doesn’t come (to Mexico), then I will go look for him. Expect some big surprises. Why not have ‘El Gran Jinete’ go and look for him in his own house? Anything can happen. My home, AAA, is always giving surprises. I don’t know, maybe in the future, I will go to his house, or him in ours, or somewhere in the middle. Anything can happen,” El Hijo Del Vikingo said.
