WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles has ruled out the possibility of facing AEW\u2019s Kenny Omega in a dream match.<\/p>\n

Despite their time together in NJPW, Omega and Styles never faced each other in singles action on a mainstream platform. Recently speaking on The Phenomenally Retro Podcast<\/a>, Styles addressed the possibility of him facing Omega and completely scrapped the chances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same dream match that everybody wants me to have with Kenny Omega. The match that\u2019s never gonna happen unless something crazy happens, and I can\u2019t imagine that.<\/p>\n

\u201cKenny\u2019s my buddy, so to be in the ring with him would be fun, and we\u2019d tear the house down, I have no doubt about that. But again, that\u2019s not gonna happen,\u201d Styles said.<\/p>\n

The last time the two shared the ring together was on the January 5, 2016, edition of NJPW New Year Dash 2016, where he and Omega teamed up<\/a> to defeat the duo of Shinsuke Nakamura and YOSHI-HASHI. Shortly after the win, Omega and the rest of the Bullet Club turned against Styles and kicked him out of the stable. Following this, Styles departed NJPW and made his WWE debut, where he stayed for a decade and retired earlier this year.<\/p>\n

While Omega and Styles never wrestled at a mainstream platform, the two once wrestled each other almost twenty years ago at PCW Back To School Bash, where Omega defeated Styles.<\/p>\n
