Omega reveals he didn’t put “pen to paper” until this morning. He’s very happy and excited to announce that he has now a full-time member of the AEW roster. Omega talks about forming The Elite and trying to give back to the wrestling fans with The Bucks and Cody. He said the journey had to come to an end in Japan. Omega says now they are here in the “frigid cold” of Las Vegas and thanks to the platform given to them by the Khan family, a platform also given by fans who “wanted something more” and “wanted something different”, they couldn’t just top and had to push this thing forward.

Omega says in various interviews, he was asked what it was like to change the world and he couldn’t quite explain it so eloquently. He always knew the meaning in his heart and he knew the fans really understood that at ALL IN last year in Chicago. Omega wondered why couldn’t it be this way all the time? He says now it can. Omega says rather than try to explain what change the world means in words, the cast and crew of All Elite Wrestling will finally be able to show you how they will change the world.
