5 Kenny Omega AEW Matches we can't wait to See

When All Elite Wrestling was announced, the biggest question was whether Kenny Omega would be joining his friends or staying in New Japan Pro Wrestling, and at their Vegas Rally, he finally made his first AEW appearance. Since his arrival, it's been clear that he's the biggest star in AEW, and he's on his way to main event Double or Nothing with Chris Jericho, but with so much talent, his future in All Elite Wrestling is incredibly bright.

With the deep roster AEW has manufactured, the first year of the company is set to go off with a bang, starting with his match against Chris Jericho at Double or Nothing, but after that, there are many big Omega matches we need to see. So without further ado, sit back and read along as we look at the 5 Kenny Omega matches we are most excited to see in All Elite Wrestling.


#5 Vs. Jimmy Havoc

Jimmy Havoc was one of the most unexpected, yet exciting signings for All Elite Wrestling, but given the fact that he has succeeded in wrestling by being himself, he fits right in with this cast of characters. The King of the Goths is most known for his deathmatch style, but he is as technically proficient as they come, and with his abilities to tell great stories, he'd mesh perfectly with The Cleaner.

It's yet to be seen how Havoc is used in AEW, but given how he carried Progress Wrestling in its early days, he's got unique main event potential written all over him. He's an unlikely main event talent, especially given the acts that will be on show at Double or Nothing, but Jimmy is a fantastic performer, and being put in there with someone like Kenny and forcing him to work the style that Havoc does would be a great story to tell, and it will only be a matter of time until the entire world knows the name Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy F'N Havoc.

#4 Vs. Joey Janela

Joey Janela is a very interesting character for AEW, as he is most known for his hardcore style, but he has the technical prowess to hang with the best of them inside the squared circle. Because of this, The Bad Boy would present a very unique challenge to Kenny, and if he's allowed to be the full Bad Boy that's become an indie darling over the past few years, this one would be fantastic.

Janela isn't your traditional star, and he's got a lot of detractors in the wrestling business, but AEW has been built by people just like that, and with his unique style and a great following, it's only a matter of time until The Bad Boy gets a big push in AEW. However unlikely, this one could happen to crown the first ever AEW Champion, but it's more likely to happen down the road, and if given the proper build, it can be one of the most unique bouts in wrestling.

#3 Vs. Jon Moxley

Ever since leaving WWE, Dean Ambrose, now returning to his Jon Moxley character has been rumored for AEW, and it's only a matter of time until he arrives and makes his name in this new company.

In WWE, Moxley was highly restricted with his character and creativity, but now that he's likely on his way to AEW, he'll get a lot of that back, and while we want to see him against the likes of Janela, Havoc, Allin, and others, a match with Kenny Omega is mouthwatering.

Whether it be in a straight-up wrestling match or an all-out, hardcore war, this one would be must-see and would be worthy of the main event for any AEW show.

We'll have to wait and see if, how and when Moxley shows up in AEW, but they'd be silly to not push him as a big-time star, and that means an encounter down the line with the Best Bout Machine.

#2 Vs. PAC

A lot of people assumed the 'creative differences' between AEW and PAC were because he would be losing to Adam Page, but it has recently been revealed that it was AEW asking him to lose to Kenny Omega that saw those differences surface.

Assuming that the former Neville still wants to honor his AEW contract, this will definitely come up again, and if it adds further heat to their bout, all the better.

In terms of an in-ring bout, there's likely no better first-time match waiting to happen in wrestling, as they are two of the best, most intense and athletic workers in the entire world. This may be a story saved for when AEW finally bring their TV to TNT, but if handled properly with a great build, this could be a company defining bout that could propel AEW to the places they want to go.

#1 Vs. 'Hangman' Adam Page

Hangman Page is the only member of The Elite never to hold a World Championship, but when you look at him, it's hard not to see the future of All Elite Wrestling.

Page has a great gimmick, the look, personality, and is a fantastic athlete, and they've positioned him as a future World Champion. Simply put, there's no way he gets to the top of the mountain without going through The Cleaner.

It's a bout that deserves a big-time build up, and if AEW can do this properly to begin their programming, a feud between Hangman and The Best Bout Machine could put the company on the map.

We've yet to see how the EVP position will affect people like Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, and The Young Bucks, but as long as Kenny is at his best in the ring, he'll be the company's top guy, but with a chip on his shoulder, Hangman will be chasing him all the way, and when they finally meet, it will be electric.
