Kenny Omega Believes He Can Still Win Wrestler Of The Year, “The Bar Is Shockingly Low In 2022”

Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on Apr 26, 2022

AEW star Kenny Omega won the 2021 Pro Wrestling Illustrated Wrestler of the Year Award after a stellar year at the top of All Elite Wrestling, however, this year Omega has been out of ring action dealing with a number of injuries that critics believe will rule him out of contention for the PWI award.

Back in 2021 Omega had the following to say about his big award win:

“Critical success is a great thing, but there’s nothing like being the fans’ choice as the best wrestler of 2021. Thanks to all that participated in the vote. Also a big thank you to the competition. You folks had the best year of your careers so it made me try a smidge harder.”

Today, Omega has claimed the bar for wrestlers at the top is "shockingly low" and he could still return later this year and win the award in a "landslide" victory.
