8 Booking Steps For Kenny Omega As IMPACT World Champion
2. An Excellent Build To Bound For Glory AND Full Gear
As the World Champion of two major North American professional wrestling promotions, Kenny Omega is likely going to find himself as the focal point of more than one big storyline at once.
In this case, that comes during the time period leading us towards IMPACT's Bound For Glory pay-per-view in late October, and AEW's Full Gear pay-per-view in early November. Challenging Omega are Bound For Glory Series winner Trey Miguel and 'Hangman' Adam Page, respectively.
The Omega vs. Page story arc has to conclude with 'Hangman' lifting the title at Full Gear as it marks a full year since Kenny earned the right to challenge for the AEW title by defeating his former tag partner. That one writes itself, whereas the IMPACT story does not.
Going off the return of the Bound For Glory Series and Trey overcoming a series of obstacles to earn his spot vs. Omega, you're creating the perfect underdog story for the former Rascalz man ahead of his inevitable championship victory. Trey works perfectly when he's in this spot; look at literally any of his marquee outings and you'll see this.
It's the sort of role he must be built up in because by this stage, Omega will be in full Cleaner character.
