Kenny Omega Explains Why He Wanted Two Out Of Three Falls Match Against Kazuchika Okada

Kenny  Omega is confident he knows how to beat Kazuchika Okada at Dominion.

At the New Japan Pro Wrestling event Dominion, Kenny Omega will have a chance to end Kazuchika Okada's historic reign as IWGP Heavyweight Champion. The two will meet in a no time limit match which will be decided by two out of three falls. In an interview with NJPW, Omega said Okada picking the no time limit stipulation was insulting because Omega feels like Okada is making it harder on himself to show off. Omega explained why he added the two out of three falls stipulation.

"Don't give me a handicap, Okada. That makes it too easy for me. Let's make this fair, 50-50, right down the line. That is why I wanted the best two out of three falls," said Omega. "I know the secret to this match, Okada. The secret is in that first fall; I won't let you take it...You're not getting a first fall. I'm going to take the first fall and control the pace," he continued.
