Omega said he hears about it every now and then.
The reigning AEW International Champion Kenny Omega started up his Twitch stream and he answered a multitude of questions that the chat sent in to him.
When he was asked to name a female competitor who he’d like to face in a singles match, Omega mentioned that there have been ‘ramblings’ within AEW about a mixed tag team tournament happening.
I keep hearing every now and then that, you know, it gets tossed around… every now and then in AEW, the ramblings of having the mixed tag matches tournament — oh! Athena would be good (to face in a singles match). She really would be. Yeah, that’d be actually a real good match. But yeah, I keep hearing about the possibility of maybe doing this tournament. So I’ve put more thought into what a tag team would look like, rather than what a singles would look like, and then yeah, someone had said Mayu Iwatani and I’m thinking, yeah, that’d be cool to have her and someone team up or Starlight Kid and somebody team up. Those are two of my favorites from STARDOM for sure right now, and then of course, just countless others that have something special. Chihiro Hashimoto, yes. She’s incredible too. She would dump me on my head so terribly (he laughed).
The most recent mixed tag team match in AEW took place on the April 2nd Dynamite. Swerve Strickland and Willow Nightingale defeated the Death Riders (Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir).
