On his ceiling as far as popularity goes as a pro wrestler for New Japan Pro Wrestling:

There’s a ceiling here. You can only get so famous. Pro wrestling can only get so popular. My dream is to break that ceiling. It always has been. Are we only big in Japan now? No. Everyone knows who we are. Everyone knows New Japan, but there’s still that ceiling. There’s still the image that we can never compete. Watch me compete.

On WWE:

WWE, in general, you can quote me on this I don’t care, everyone there is so below me. No one can put together a performance like me from there. Anyone that’s copying anyone is copying me. I’m the trend right now.

It’s worth noting that Omega said these comments do not apply to Chris Jericho who he Omega points out has been in multiple companies and comes and goes as he pleases.
