Yota Tsuji Praises Kenny Omega For Earning NJPW Title Shot
“Firstly, Kenny is someone that I have been watching his match from the link side as a Young Lion, so I know he’s from AEW but he used to be in the main losses of new Japan.— Yota Tsuji

Yota Tsuji expressed appreciation that Kenny Omega agreed to wrestle in NJPW to earn a shot at his IWGP Championship rather than expecting an immediate title match simply for coming from AEW. Tsuji noted he had watched Omega's matches while training as a Young Lion and felt he had reached a level where he could face such an opponent. He contrasted Omega's approach with the varying history of the AEW-NJPW working relationship where talent from both sides have crossed over and held each other's titles.
