In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan discussed several topics, including AEW World Champion Kenny Omega ranking #1 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Top 500.
“No surprise, I think it’s very well deserved, it’s a great honor for Kenny. Last year, Jon Moxley was a great number one representative for AEW and I think it’s awesome for Kenny Omega to be No. 1 in the PWI.
I think it’s a lot of milestones for AEW this week and a lot of firsts, it’s definitely the best PPV card I’ve ever been associated with and I’m just so proud of all our team, to be able to come to TV and say this is our crew and to be able to look around our locker room and have CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, Ruby Soho and all these great new faces in AEW, it’s pretty special.
Things have changed a lot in AEW and I really believe we have the best roster in all of wrestling right now, so it’s very fitting that our World Champion, Kenny Omega, is the number one ranked wrestler in the world.”
