#1. Adam Cole vs. Kenny Omega
The aforementioned alliance with Adam Cole and The Young Bucks also affected all three men's relationship with Kenny Omega. Cole's entrance into the Bullet Club created a battle of alpha males between him and Omega that became a central storyline on Being The Elite. Whether it was for the affection of the Jackson brothers or in karaoke, it seemed Cole and Omega were always at odds.
There were many teases at a potential Adam Cole vs. Kenny Omega showdown that inevitably were never paid off. Due to Cole leaving for WWE, no promotion was ever able to book this dream match. The battle for Bullet Club supremacy was then shifted to Kenny Omega vs. Cody Rhodes, but a Cole exit from WWE would give AEW the opportunity to open that door once again.
Adam Cole has always been the leader of most of the stables that he was a part of. Cole led the Undisputed Era to dominance in WWE NXT. Becoming the longest reigning NXT Champion in the brand's history, the WWE superstar prophesied that his stable would win all the gold and they did just that. Many fans might not be aware that this wasn't his only successful faction.
At PWG, Adam Cole was apart of the Mount Rushmore stable that also featured Kevin Owens and the Young Bucks. This allowed Cole to become the PWG World Champion. The Bullet Club was the only group where he didn't have an outright leadership position.
The friction between Omega and Cole came from this. Kenny Omega was the clear leader of the Bullet Club after excommunicating AJ Styles from the stable on his way to WWE.
In similar fashion, Omega ordered a hit on Adam Cole, which led to The Young Bucks giving their former friend his superkick exit from the group. They also gave Cole a poisoned Monster energy drink that killed him off on BTE.
In addition to this lengthy history of animosity, Kenny Omega and Adam Cole are two of the most successful stars in wrestling right now. Not only did Cole win the NXT Championship, he was also only the second man to win the triple crown on the brand, winning the NXT North American Championship and holding the NXT Tag Team Championships.
Meanwhile, Kenny Omega has won the top prize in NJPW, IMPACT Wrestling, AAA and AEW. He is currently called 'The Belt Collector', holding the AAA Mega, IMPACT World and AEW World Championships.
Adam Cole could come for Omega's spot at the top of All Elite Wrestling. He could even bring up the fact that he feels The Cleaner has also feared him, thus why they have been at odds.
With this matchup, you have two of the most decorated and accomplished in-ring competitors of their generation. They are also excellent promo guys that can properly build this up as the high profile encounter it deserves to be. This is why Kenny Omega is the biggest and best dream match for Adam Cole in AEW.
