Jim Ross Wants Kenny Omega To Have A Long Run As AEW World Champ After Dynamite Win

This past Wednesday on "AEW Dynamite: Beach Break," MJF heard and felt Kenny Omega's battle cry and fell to "The Best Bout Machine." Now, Omega is the current two-time AEW World Champion. Looking ahead, Omega will defend his championship against another maestro of the sport, Will Ospreay, at All In: London on Sunday, August 30. A big admirer of Omega's craft, Jim Ross would like to see him have a long and fulfilling reign rather than drop it so suddenly next month.

"Well, I hope it's not a passing of the torch. It's a little early for that for me," the AEW commentator and senior advisor said on his "Grilling JR" podcast. "I'd like to see Kenny get his fair, long, productive run. But I don't know what Tony Khan's plans are, be honest with you...If you're ever going to beat Kenny by a Brit, i.e., Will Ospreay, then what better place to do it than Wembley Stadium."

"Good Ol" JR is a firm believer that this match will be an "outstanding performance." Even his co-host Conrad Thompson was bold to predict that this might be the "Match of the Year." Only 49 days away, it will be the second time the AEW first-ever Grand Slam Champion and the "Billy G.O.A.T." have gone toe-to-toe in singles action in All Elite. Their last singles match happened at Forbidden Door 2023, where Ospreay captured the now defunct IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship from Omega.
