One of the guys we might’ve expected to carry the fledgling promotion on his back, it’s been a rocky start for Kenny Omega in AEW.

His win loss record stands at 3-3. While Jim Ross likes to remind us he was the best wrestler in the world in 2018 his record doesn’t back up the plaudits.

Under pressure to live up to his own stellar reputation and under constant threat from Jon Moxley, the strain is beginning to show on 'The Cleaner'.

Throughout these trials, he’s shown enough babyface fire to have us rooting for him. He could run scared from the next attack from Mox but instead brings the fight to him, turning up with barbed wire adorned weapons. Only to gain more sympathy by falling victim to a sneak attack from PAC.

He also showed heart and put his body through the wringer in an unsanctioned match against Joey Janela. While other guys might avoid such a match up, Omega actively booked himself into it to prepare himself for his war with Moxley. Just imagine how a hero like this might prepare for The Fiend Bray Wyatt?
