>>12593634Kenny knows why.
>Money. >Paid plane tickets. >Open schedule. >Easy Let's be real, he dusted himself too hard and wasted too long in Japan to make anything more out of himself in States or especially in the WWE since they couldn't introduce him as anything remotely related to other companies so he'd start from basically scratch to their majority audience. "Kenny, who has wrestled around the world before joining WWE".
He doesn't have the personality or mic skills to get instantly over despite deteriorating and aging every second like LA Knight. Nobody in their right mind would hand him a title opportunity the moment he walks in just to hear him twink his way through promos.
So why not take the best deal handed to him right now and try to solidify the legacy in AEW the best he can and be that "could have been great" name in the list of people who never got a shot in WWE but were notable in wrestling. Right there next to Briscoes. Ain't no shame in that.
