Wheeler Yuta discusses his upcoming bout with Kenny Omega.
On the July 5 episode of AEW Dynamite, Yuta will take on Omega in a singles match. This will be Omega's first bout since the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view, where he wrestled Will Ospreay in a highly praised match. Furthermore, this will be Yuta's first time facing off against Omega since pinning him in the Anarchy In The Arena match at Double Or Nothing.
In a new interview with Cageside Seats, Yuta talked about the upcoming match with Omega and questioned if 'The Cleaner' will be able to bounce back after his contest with Ospreay.
“Honestly, I always just try to kind of do my own thing and focus on my own goals. Obviously, [following the Ospreay match] definitely adds to the excitement. It adds to the feel of it. Just like, how is Kenny gonna be able to bounce back after having such a classic match? So it definitely adds a whole ‘nother element to it, but I really just have to focus on doing the best that I can do... it definitely adds a little bit more in an air of excitement. I don’t think I’d say pressure. I’d say excitement for me.”
