Should Eddie actually do it in the end and turn these two losses into winning the whole thing, then that's just a great chapter in terms of character development.

Bryan Danielson suggests why Kenny Omega is NOT in Continental Classic

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY ALEX MCCARTHY: The 42-year-old former WWE star has taken on a new role within the AEW in a disciplinary committee.

www.dailymail.co.uk

I really wanted Kenny Omega in it and I don't know. People think I do a lot more than I do.
I don't know what happened or why Kenny Omega's not in the tournament. I know it was at least brought up to him and I don't know if he didn't want to do it or I know that he and Chris Jericho are the number one contenders for the tag team championship. So maybe that's why, you know.
And sometimes, you know, with American TV wrestling, you don't want to confuse stories, and maybe that's why.
