The two-time WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T stated that it was the cool moment for All Elite Wrestling but it does absolutely nothing for the IMPACT Wrestling in his opinion.
“I don’t know what Impact is thinking right now,” Booker T said. “Maybe they’re thinking about the rub. It’s a cool moment for AEW, it’s not a cool moment for Impact wrestling unless I own both companies and I was working the fans at the same time with both of my companies. For Rich Swann to go out and lose the title to Kenny Omega, it does absolutely nothing in my opinion [for Impact].” (H/T: WrestlingInc)
Booker T criticized IMPACT Wrestling for letting their top champion to gets beat. He further stated that if he would have been the leader of the promotion, he wouldn’t let it to happen.
“Bottom line. If the champion gets beat, which is supposed to be your franchise player, your number one guy and then he goes out and gets beat. I could be wrong, but for me, if it was my company, something like that wouldn’t have gone down. That’s just me,” said Booker T.
It was announced that Kenny Omega will defend his IMPACT World Title at Under Siege on May 15th. We have to wait and see will be the next challenger for the Kenny Omega.
