AEW must hitch its wagon to Kenny Omega

In the January 8 episode of AEW Dynamite, a significant comeback was showcased, sealing off a chapter. Kenny Omega had previously wrestled at Wrestle Dynasty a few days prior, but this marked his official return as an AEW competitor. The enthusiastic response to his return and his bout against Gabe Kidd has sparked discussions about whether All Elite Wrestling should center its focus around Omega. This could be the strategic shift needed to regain the momentum that AEW has repeatedly lost. This is the path forward, so to speak.

It’s hardly surprising to say that Kenny Omega is exceptionally gifted. He took a break from wrestling for over a year and made his comeback against one of Japan’s top performers. The match between Omega and Kidd was truly captivating and is already being considered as a strong contender for Match of the Year. What’s intriguing is that Omega could potentially have multiple entries on that list if he stays fit.

However, this article isn’t focusing on Omega as an exceptional performer, as there are numerous resources available for that subject. Instead, it delves into the potential benefits for AEW if they were to align closely with him in the near future.

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) consistently delivers top-tier professional wrestling, leaving viewers buzzing about the exciting matches each week and eagerly anticipating upcoming dream bouts. However, one aspect where AEW could improve is having a main performer who captivates audiences on a weekly basis. Kenny Omega fits that role perfectly. Witness the fervor surrounding his return announcement and the acclaim pouring in for another stellar match of his. AEW fans crave the Omega they see in Japan, as the primary figure in their favorite wrestling company. It’s crucial for AEW to ensure that Omega embodies this role consistently for its viewers.

The current storylines in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) aren’t going well. Jon Moxley is great, but his character with the Death Riders is becoming less exciting each week. Having Adam Copeland and Christian Cage involved in the main event is problematic because they are older wrestlers who were once big stars in WWE, taking up spots that should be given to younger performers. The Undisputed Kingdom has lost its impact, even though members like Adam Cole, Kyle O’Rielly, and Rodderick Strong have returned. Will Ospreay and MJF are talented wrestlers who could fill main event roles, but they’re stuck in midcard matches until the Death Riders story wraps up. Eddie Kingston is injured and won’t be back for a while. AEW has a lot of talent, but it’s not being used effectively to meet the promotion’s current needs.

Kenny Omega consistently shines as a top-tier performer regardless of where he wrestles. Now, it’s crucial for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to highlight his superstar status and sustain this image for as long as they can. Whether or not “The Belt Collector” makes another comeback is debatable. However, the focus in AEW should be on making Omega the central figure, regardless of the specific storyline or persona used.
