8 Reasons WWE Must Sign Kenny Omega

4. A Feud With The New Day

In real life, Kenny Omega and Xavier Woods are close friends. The two men have made numerous appearances together in YouTube videos, website articles, and at conventions, typically to discuss (or play) video games.

That relationship has translated to an in-character rivalry that spans promotions. After the Elite formed, the group began delivering barbs to The New Day, calling them out on TV and releasing a parody t-shirt based on New Day's blue unicorn design. The New Day responded, replying to the tactics on social media and even dropping a subtle comeback or two on TV (such as calling themselves "the elite" team in pro wrestling).

If Omega does come to WWE, expect him to work with Woods, and if Matt and Nick Jackson follow suit, a full-fledged six-man feud doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility. Not only would the resultant matches be incredible, but the character work would be completely electric.
