Exciting #2: Kenny Omega is just getting started in AEW

Kenny Omega's third match for AEW was a singles contest against a man in his prime who could keep up with the Cleaner's insane cardio conditioning. That man was CIMA, and their match is a taste of things to come from Kenny Omega in AEW.

Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho may be a great way to sell tickets, but Jericho's age and nagging injuries meant that their match had to be somewhat slower-paced and more deliberate than Omega's work in NJPW.

Likewise, Omega is a good tag wrestler, but he's an outstanding singles competitor. His ability to tell a story is second only to his incredible athletic ability. So a six-man tag may not be the best environment for him to display his skill set.

But Omega is just getting started in AEW. Like most wrestlers, Omega is only as good as the opponent he's paired with, but there are plenty of stars in AEW who can take him to the limit.
