Kenny Omega previews his AEW World Championship match with MJF on the October 28 AEW Saturday Collision.
Kenny Omega looks to defend his record as the longest-reigning AEW World Champion as he faces MJF on the October 28 AEW Collision. However, Omega is also looking to advance his own legacy as he says it's his destiny to be "remembered" as the greatest AEW World Champion of all time.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Omega says he needs multiple title reigns in order to solidify his place in history.
“I have the chance to accomplish something very meaningful in this match,” said Omega. “Protect my record and become a two-time AEW champion.
“This is a chance to add to my legacy,” adds Omega. “It’s my destiny to be remembered as the greatest champion AEW ever had. To do that, I need multiple runs.”
Omega also says that while he's surprised MJF is the one slated to surpass his record of 346 days as AEW World Champion, but praised Maxwell for earning that spot.
“I am surprised, but he’s earned it,” said Omega. “I always expected Max to be champion. He’s got the drive, there’s no doubt about that. He puts in the work as champion. With the belt, he has shouldered the load. Now he’s at the doorstep of breaking my record.”
