Christian Cage and Kenny Omega opened the debut episode of AEW Rampage with a stellar contest for the IMPACT Wrestling Championship. Captain Charisma came out on top in what would turn out to be a massive upset, as he became the first man to pin Kenny Omega in singles competition since Full Gear 2019.
Luckily, we get to see the two veterans in action once again at All Out, this time for the AEW World Championship. If their match at Rampage is anything to go by, we are in for another banger of a match.
Their Rampage match saw a Young Bucks interference ultimately costing the Belt Collector. It was certainly an anomaly as The Elite has bailed out Kenny Omega on multiple occasions during his title reign.
Could we be in for another shock at All Out? Or will the Best Bout Machine vanquish Christian Cage in his biggest match in AEW yet? Let's take a look at five possible endings to the AEW World Title match.
#5. Christian Cage shocks the wrestling world and pins Kenny Omega clean
If we're being honest, this is the unlikeliest finish. AEW will not have their highly protected champion lose consecutive big matches and lose two of his three titles.
But if the Rampage premiere proved anything, it is that Christian Cage is capable of defeating Kenny Omega. Despite Don Callis distracting the referee and the Young Bucks sliding in a chair, the former WWE Champion managed to use it all to his advantage to get the win.
A win for Christian Cage cannot be ruled out entirely. Kenny Omega has spoken about needing some time off so Christian being the placeholder champion for AEW and transitioning the title to one of their young stars in Darby Allin or Hangman Page, or for an established star like PAC or CM Punk, could be a possible direction.
#4. Kenny Omega needs help from the Super Elite to put away Christian Cage at AEW All Out
As great as Kenny Omega has been in AEW, one glaring criticism has to be the consistent interference from the rest of The Elite - Good Brothers, Young Bucks, Brandon Cutler, Michael Nakazawa and Don Callis.
It's extremely rare for Kenny Omega to win clean, which is a shame because he's one of the top guys in AEW and he should not be needing interference as often as he does.
Rest assured, expect the Good Brothers or the Young Bucks to march down the ramp or Don Callis to kick up a fuss on the apron and the subsequent interference allowing Kenny Omega to win and retain his AEW World Championship.
#3. The Elite Hunter and Jurassic Express even the odds to help Christian Cage emerge victorious over Kenny Omega
Frankie Kazarian has been a thorn in The Elite's side since he split from Christopher Daniels. Jurassic Express have helped Christian Cage time and again since Jungle Boy defeated Christian in the Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing.
With The Elite have constantly been making a nuisance of themselves, it's quite possible that Jurassic Express and Kazarian even the odds and help Christian Cage win the AEW World Championship.
An assisted victory would protect Kenny Omega while allowing him to take the extended break that he rightfully deserves.
#2. Kenny Omega defeats Christian Cage clean as a whistle at AEW All Out
Since his loss at the premiere of AEW Rampage, Kenny Omega has been hell-bent on proving himself to be the better wrestler than Christian Cage. Defeating the former WWE superstar clean in the center of the ring will be the perfect way to do that.
The story for the match will be simple yet effective, Kenny Omega wants no part of the Elite during his match and wants to defeat Christian Cage by himself. Nothing builds a heel as an unstoppable force like a clean victory over a top babyface.
Ahead of what is likely to be a championship program with Hangman Adam Page, the stronger Kenny Omega looks, the louder the pop for the Anxious Millenial Cowboy will be.
#1. Kenny Omega retains the AEW World Championship and Daniel Bryan shows up
Daniel Bryan has been heavily rumored to debut at AEW All Out. What better way for the best technical wrestler in the world to show up than at the conclusion of the world title match and stare down a fellow generational talent in Kenny Omega?
Kenny Omega and Daniel Bryan fought one-on-one just once in their careers, back in 2009 at PWG 100. Since then, both men have had era-defining matches, and careers, in different promotions but never crossed paths.
If the American Dragon is indeed headed to AEW, this match needs to happen without delay. This dream match will have fans chomping at the bits. AEW has an incredible opportunity on their hands when it comes to the tantalizing prospect of booking a Kenny Omega vs Brian Danielson classic.
