Ranking Every AEW Wrestler's 2020 From Worst To Best
2. Kenny Omega
Nobody peaked higher in AEW this year than Kenny Omega, who has the big-time performances, character arc, and now, the star power required for Wrestler of the Year consideration.
Omega wasn't positioned at this level earlier in 2020. He was a tag guy operating outwith the World Championship's orbit, though it was all by design. Losing his biggest 2019 feuds gave 'The Best Bout Machine' a clear path to ascend, which has done, spectacularly, in 2020's final few months.
Increased 'Cleaner' teases built to the most flippant and arrogant heel character Omega has ever played, before he and Don Callis twisted the knife at Winter Is Coming. Now a fully-fledged villain, he is every bit the megastar that the critics who couldn't see the long-term plan claimed he wasn't at the start of the year.
