10 Booking Steps For Kenny Omega's WWE Debut
2. No Excuses
Kenny Omega is no stranger to holding a briefcase with a guaranteed title shot, but this time, he won't be lugging the item around for long. On the first Smackdown after Money in the Bank, Omega, will cash in his contract, officially demanding a title shot at AJ Styles at SummerSlam.
Only two MITB holders (RVD and John Cena) have given advance notice of their cash-in, and Omega will be the first heel to do it. Rather than shooting himself in the foot, though, "The Cleaner" will actually be getting one step closer to accomplishing his ultimate goal.
As Omega will explain it in his Smackdown promo, the WWE Championship will be nice to have, but it's not his ultimate goal - his goal, as he said all along, is to prove to AJ Styles that he's better than him, and therefore is the best in the world. The briefcase guarantees him a chance to do that, so surprising "The Phenomenal One" when he's beaten up holds no allure. Instead, he's going to stand face to face with Styles in the main event of SummerSlam and beat him while everybody's watching. After that, the debate will be over.
