I think it's a situation where it doesn't really matter which way they go. You could do a lot of great stuff with either direction.
Personally I'm in the Jericho camp. It is indeed great to see a character like Jericho get humble. But I also think it's even better when it's built up really well. Jericho is their biggest and best heel. I think for a guy so good at being a shithead, the payoff should come a little later.
Also, Kenny is kind of a weird guy. He may not click with everyone in the mainstream audiences right away. But Kenny chasing the belt being held by one of his arch rivals and certainly his arch nemesis in AEW, is a story that will adhere him to people very well. Because I do believe Omega should be the one to dethrone Jericho.
While I don't believe the money is always in the chase, I think in this case, it's a really good option.
But like I said before, given the talent involved I'm confident they can make it work regardless who wins.
