Kenny Omega Eyes AEW World Title Run, Praises Depth of Championship Picture

Kenny Omega has his sights set on another shot at the AEW World Championship — and he thinks the title scene around it has never been in better shape.

In a recent interview, Omega made clear that he wants back into the AEW World title conversation. Beyond his own ambitions, he took time to highlight several members of the AEW roster he believes are more than capable of carrying the promotion’s top prize, with MJF among the names he singled out for recognition.

Omega’s confidence in the championship picture is notable given how much the landscape of AEW has shifted in recent years. A former AEW World Champion himself, Omega has dealt with significant injury setbacks that cost him considerable time, making his return to full health and renewed focus on the title that much more meaningful for the fanbase that followed his recovery closely.

With a roster that has continued to evolve and deepen, Omega’s assessment speaks to a locker room that genuinely believes in its own ceiling. His willingness to both stake his personal claim to a future title shot and celebrate the talents around him paints the picture of a competitor who is engaged, motivated, and hungry — rather than simply going through the motions of a comeback.

Whether Omega finds himself in a championship program sooner rather than later remains to be seen, but his intent is clearly stated. For AEW, having one of its signature names re-enter the title hunt at full strength is exactly the kind of story the promotion will want to build around heading deeper into 2025.
