8 Booking Steps For Kenny Omega As IMPACT World Champion
8. An Under Siege Banger
Under Siege brings with it a different feeling to IMPACT's monthly specials, and not just because it's the first one to feature a Kenny Omega contest.
It feels like a new dawn for the Anthem-helmed promotion. 2021 has already been wild for them. Look at this match as an example of that; it'll feature talent from IMPACT Wrestling, All Elite Wrestling, and New Japan Pro Wrestling. That said, it should be a banger.
It's the most important step to ensure his reign gets off to a grand start. It may be a simple trios match, however, they can go a long way in establishing future arcs of the overall story. Case in point, a future marquee showdown vs. Eddie Edwards.
This must be on the cards for IMPACT, and so they've got to build anticipation for it here. Eddie shouldn't take the fall here because he needs to stay looking strong for a future bout vs. 'The Best Bout Machine'. Instead, Omega knees the head clean off of David Finlay's shoulders with a V-Trigger after about twenty or so minutes of pure excellence.
AEW's recent spell of trios matches involving the likes of the Lucha Bros, the Young Bucks, and Omega himself have been superb contests. Having Kenny involved here indicates that it'll be fought somewhat like those, as it should be.
