Last night at Impact Wrestling PPV Rebellion, the landscape of professional wrestling shifted as Kenny Omega claimed the Impact Wrestling World Championship from Rich Swann. It was a hard fought match from both sides, but an early botch from Swann led to his performance being sloppy at times. In the end, Omega claimed another championship and at the same time, looked damn near unbeatable once again.
Now, he’s the AEW World Champion, AAA Mega Champion, and Impact Wrestling World Champion. However, a return was teased for Slammiversary, and it’s one that could seal the fate of Omega as champion. His days are numbered, as a certain Samoan Submission Machine seems to be on his way back. Could Samoa Joe be the one to take Kenny Omega out?
Samoa Joe Has Legendary Status In Impact Wrestling
While a sustained push as a top name never came to Samoa Joe in Impact Wrestling, he’s been historically one of their biggest names. From his time as a dominant X-Division Champion, to the excellent feud with Kurt Angle. Samoa Joe has held a high spot in the eyes of Impact fans, even with some shaky moments like mentoring Okoto (now Kazuchika Okada) and getting kidnapped by ninjas.
It’s been a few years since he was around in Impact Wrestling due to a stint with WWE, but after his release? He will be coming back eventually. And after being front and center in a video package for Slammiversary? It seems like the time is very soon.
Someone On The Same Level Of Kenny Omega?
There is still a fair bit of time before Samoa Joe is done with this 90 days non-compete clause, which is a blessing for Kenny Omega. With Omega having beaten the best that Impact Wrestling had to offer, and with two more PPV’s until Joe is potentially back, Omega has a chance to flaunt that title for a while.
Omega would need to have a major opponent to take him down, and with his reputation and hype? Samoa Joe is perfect. Having him bring back the Muscle Buster, dropping Omega and choking him out? That would elevate Joe back to main event status in Impact Wrestling, and show him as the legend that fans want to remember him as.
