Kenny Omega

Biography

Omega signed a four-year contract with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on February 7, 2019. Along with Cody and Matt and Nick Jackson, Omega serves as an executive vice president of the promotion as well as one of its in-ring talents. He competed at the promotion’s inaugural event, Double or Nothing, where he lost to Chris Jericho in the main event, after which both men were attacked by Jon Moxley. The following month at Fyter Fest, Omega attacked Moxley in retaliation for Moxley’s previous assault. A match between Omega and Moxley was scheduled for the All Out pay-per-view, however, Moxley pulled out of the match due to a MRSA infection. Omega instead competed against Pac at the event, where he was defeated. On the premiere episode of Dynamite on October 2, Omega was taken out by a returning Moxley during a six-man tag team match, with Omega’s team later losing the contest. In the main event of Full Gear on November 9, Omega was defeated by Moxley in an unsanctioned Lights Out match.

At Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea Part Deux: Second Wave, which aired on the January 22, 2020 episode of Dynamite, Omega and Adam Page defeated SoCal Uncensored (Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship, marking the first title change in the promotion’s history. At Revolution on February 29, Omega and Page retained the championship against the Young Bucks. The following month, it was announced that the Elite was set to face the Inner Circle–which comprises Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, and Santana and Ortiz–at Blood and Guts. After the event was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Omega, Page, and the Young Bucks instead competed alongside Matt Hardy against the Inner Circle in a Stadium Stampede match on May 23 at Double or Nothing, where Omega’s team was victorious.
