AEW World Champion Kenny Omega detailed his negotiations with Triple H and WWE from a few years ago in a new Talk Sport interview when discussing a potential WWE and AEW partnership.
“People change from day-to-day. You could have a bad day and completely change your mind on a topic.
But from when I did speak at length with Triple H, it really felt like he understood a lot of my thought process and not only was I looking to unite and unify the world of professional wrestling and all of that, but he definitely got it.
The thing is, I also understand their side of things too. There’s no right or wrong way anymore in wrestling. To me, and it’s the outlook I take on everything, if we can make the fans enjoy what we do more, that’s the right way.
But I do try to get into the heads [of other companies] and see things from a different viewpoint where I’m not a suit in a business meeting, I’m not punching a clock and I don’t have to look at the numbers and crunch the data that goes from day-to-day, month-to-month – I’m just a performer.
I kind of do have my hand a little in these types of things, but I still find myself worrying about the quality of the show and making the fan/consumer happy.
I think Triple H is still being one of the boys for the better part of his career. I’m sure a big part of how he runs his business and how he looks at WWE, NXT and all those things he has a finger in, I really do think he does it for the sake of fans as well.
So when he does say things like he’s open for business, I do think if there is a situation which could maybe eliminate some of the worries and fears from the other people that have a say in making these things happen, I do see it being a reality.” Jon Moxley discussed Triple H stealing an idea from him for NXT today as well.
