5 best title defenses of Kenny Omega's AEW Championship reign

2. Kenny Omega vs Christian Cage

After Kenny Omega lost the IMPACT championship to Christian Cage at the debut Rampage show, Cage vowed to take more. Omega, now with two fewer belts, had to put another on the line against the veteran Cage.

Because of the high stakes and Omega knowing who he was fighting, we saw him more desperate than ever. He would cheat numerous times with help from Calis, going so far as to disrespect the veteran. But Cage made sure that Omega had the fight of his life.

Both wrestlers were pushed to the limit. After setting up for a Killswitch from the top rope, Cage's move was reversed. Kenny Omega dropped Cage with a One-Winged-Angel from the middle-rope.

Kenny Omega looked good as well as dangerous, but the end of the match wasn't the end of the fight. After the music ended, The Elite walked down to the ring and began a beat down on Cage. Jurrasic Express came to Cage's aid and it soon became an all-out brawl. After a brutal beat down, Adam Cole made his AEW debut, only to end up aiding and joining The Elite.

Their reunion was cut short when Bryan Danielson made his debut to clear the ring and help Cage and Jurrasic Express. The match itself was great, but the fact that it led to two major debuts made it much sweeter.

1. Kenny Omega vs Rey Fenix

Kenny Omega versus Rey Fenix is the only match that could be put at number one. Dave Meltzer gave this match a five-star rating, and it's easy to see why. At the time of writing, Kenny Omega has had a rating of at least 5 stars from Meltzer 19 times.

Omega and Fenix put on one of the best shows, with both wrestlers going back and forth trying to get the upper-hand. The men put their bodies on the line to take each other out. Fenix showed us some of his most impressive moves while Omega showed how he could fit a V-Trigger into nearly anything.

Rey Fenix got so many close spots to pick up the belt, but Kenny Omega was victorious in the end. If fans were still unsure about Fenix, this match would have proven his skill. Hopefully sometime down the road we can see a rematch between the two.

Kenny Omega is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world and had one of the best title runs in AEW history. Whatever lies in store for the Best Bout Machine, we hope he recovers soon and has many matches to add to lists like this in the future.
