5 matches Kenny Omega should have when he returns to AEW: Former WWE Champion, Current title holder

Former AEW champion Kenny Omega was last seen in AEW a few days after his defeat at AEW All Out, "The Collector" will definitely make a triumphant return when cleared.

According to Dave Meltzer, Omega has been wrestling with multiple injuries for quite some time.

"Omega has been wrestling with a knee, shoulder and abdominal injuries while also suffering from a hernia" - Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Omega being able to wrestle with all those injuries is a testament to why he can confidently call himself the "God of Pro Wrestling". With all his fantastic matches in AEW, Omega was not even at 100%. We have so much left to see in his performances.

Kenny Omega will likely be out for quite some time so he can fully recover from his injuries. In the meantime, let's speculate about some great matches he could have when he inevitably returns.

5. Kenny Omega vs Adam Page rematch

The most obvious match would be a rematch against Adam Page. While the match itself was brilliant, Kenny Omega was nowhere near 100% strength. The mere fact that he could pull off a match like that with all his injuries is a wonder of its own.

To put their feud to rest (for now), fans need to see Kenny Omega at full strength going up against Adam Page. Whether or not Hangman improves and reaches Omega's level during this downtime is something we'll have to wait and see.

Adam Page has only had one title defense that ended in a no contest. At this stage he's still very early in his reign. Regardless, Kenny Omega is due a second reign, and taking the belt back from Hangman might be the most triumphant return.

4. Kenny Omega vs Bryan Danielson

The last time Kenny Omega stepped into the ring with Bryan Danielson, the match ended in a no contest. Danielson had Omega up against the ropes and was pushing The Cleaner to his limits.

Now that we know that Kenny Omega was nowhere near one-hundred percent at the time, it would be interesting to see this match revisited. Omega could push Danielson to his limits this time around.

Danielson has admitted that he would have preferred to have wreslted Omega instead of Adam Page. Whether this was a dig from the heel-in-denial Danielson, or actual praise towards Omega, is something we'll have to wait to see.

3. Kenny Omega vs Malakai Black

The House of Black is an unstoppable force that's been wrecking havoc in AEW since Malakai Black debuted. While few wrestlers have been able to face Black and pick up a convincing win, The Cleaner might just be able to.

Kenny Omega has been a fantastic heel, but a brilliant face turn would be to face Malakai Black. By defeating Black, Omega would be able to win back the fans. A reluctant hero would fit well with Omega's sometimes-goofy persona.

Then again, even though he's portrayed as a heel, Malakai Black still gets a lot of cheers from the fans and seems to have them all behind him. The opposite could easily happen and Black could become a dark hero.

2. Kenny Omega vs CM Punk

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Kenny Omega has never faced CM Punk and now that they're both signed to the same promotion, this is subject to change.

CM Punk's current run in AEW has shown the veteran wrestler still has what it takes to go toe-to-toe in the squared-circle. While MJF is the first notable person for Punk to face, he's noticeably been taking on the lower mid-card.

Because of the types of matches he's had, whether or not he can take Kenny Omega on - at full strength - is something that's up for debate. The two in the ring would be fantastic to see, and is likely inevitable.

1. Kenny Omega vs Adam Cole

Adam Cole is a main event wrestler currently stuck in the upper mid-card. Cole is likely warming up before he gets serious. But his ambition will likely collide with Kenny Omega's sooner rather than later.

During the last segment Omega was in, some hints of animosity from Omega towards Cole was seen. Kenny clearly doesn't trust Cole, and this is the perfect recipe for a feud.

A feud against Kenny Omega might end up being exactly what Adam Cole needs to show that he's main-event-worthy.
