Off The Script 465 | WWE Believes They Can Sign Kenny Omega, Making Him A Priority Over Jay White, Tony Khan vs Ariel Helwani, Mercedes Mone Wins The IWGP Women's Championship, and Elimination Chamber FALLOUT From Saturday Night

WWE has reportedly set its sights on "Switchblade" Jay White for their big Wrestlemania season free agent signing but that may not be the biggest news. According to recent reports, the company is interested in none other than Kenny Omega, the star and executive vice president of AEW, and IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion. Omega's contract is believed to be up or nearing its expiration date, although there is speculation that it could be extended due to injuries. Omega and his Elite stablemates The Young Bucks have had a highly successful four years with AEW, but it seems that WWE may have a plan for how to use Omega if they can convince him to join the company. Cody Rhodes, who helped create AEW alongside Omega and The Young Bucks, returned to WWE last year and is now set to compete for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania after winning the 2023 Royal Rumble. Could Omega be next in line for a big push in WWE? Also, AEW owner Tony Khan has taken to social media to criticize mixed martial arts reporter Ariel Helwani for his relationship with WWE, a company he reports on. Helwani appeared on "WWE SmackDown" to promote Montreal native Sami Zayn's promo and narrate a video about his main event match against Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber premium live event.This feud has stemmed from a past interview when Helwani asked Khan about the infamous media scrum and subsequent backstage altercation after AEW All Out 2022 involving CM Punk. Khan declined to comment, leading to Helwani calling it one of the most frustrating interviews of his career. Michael Cole even got involved in the argument, throwing shade at Helwani during commentary at the Elimination Chamber event. While Ariel Helwani is a respected journalist, his relationship with WWE has caused some backlash, and his appearance on the company's programming has sparked this feud with Khan. Finally, JDfromNY will go over the FALLOUT of the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber, and the major storyline of Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Roman Reigns coming out of last night's EPIC main event, Mercedes Mone winning the IWGP Women's Championship, CM Punk showing up at Battle In The Valley, and more! 🥃 Become a Channel Member & Join the Off The Script VIP Club: https://www.youtube.com/c/JDfromNY206/join Socials 🐤 Twitter: https://twitter.com/jdfromny206 🍺 Gaming Channel: http://www.youtube.com/MoreJDfromNY 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jdfromny206 ⏰ TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@jdfromny 💬 Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/jdfromny206 📹 Cameo: http://www.cameo.com/jdfromny ★ Sponsors ♦ Advanced GG: (Use Code "SCRIPT") https://advanced.gg ♦ Blue Chew (Use Code "JD"): https://go.bluechew.com ♦ Magic Spoon ($5 Off Code "SCRIPT") https://magicspoon.thld.co/script_1022 ♦ Audible (Use Affiliate Link): http://www.audibletrial.com/script ♦ Manscaped (Code "SCRIPT20"): http://www.manscaped.com ★ Off The Script Merchandise ♦ Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/off-the-script/ 🎸 Background Music: @DrDisRespect @ONLAP @Chris_Mckean @JacobLizotte @McRocklin Welcome to the official YouTube channel of JDfromNY and Off The Script!
