AEW All Out 2023: 10 Things That Must Happen

2. And Kenny Omega Wins It

AEW All Out 2023 CM Punk

Don Callis laid out Konosuke’s strategy on Dynamite, which was typical wrestling heel stupidity. Omega, banged up or not, should overcome that, defeat Takeshita and celebrate by shouting, “F*** CM Punk” into the hard cam.

OK, maybe not that last bit.

Seriously though, a loss won’t hurt Takeshita if he’s allowed to look great during the meat of the match. Omega is a true master of making opponents look like killers, and he'll be able to elevate Konosuke even if he's the one going over. That, ladies and gents, is why Kenny is regarded as one of the best grapplers on the planet.

He's at his best in singles outings too, especially if they're on the lengthier side. A solid 30 minutes or so would be enough for Omega and Takeshita to take fans on a ride, then rock the house with a popular win for The Elite man.

That'd represent something else too...
