#1 Needs Improvement : The Best Bout Machine?
Flash back to 2018, and Kenny Omega was unquestionably the biggest pro wrestling star in the world.
Thanks largely in part to his five star matches with Okada the Rainmaker, Kenny Omega became a huge blip on the sports entertainment match. John Cena tweeted a picture of Omega--just a picture--which fueled speculation he would soon be joining WWE.

But the rumors of Omega being a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble never came to pass. Instead, he chose to sign with All Elite Wrestling. Omega cited creative control and his desire to continue wrestling in other promotions as his main considerations for choosing AEW over WWE.
Omega joined AEW, but while he has had spectacular matches, he's been kept out of the main event scene (rumor has it this is what Omega wants at this stage in his career.) However, this might be a mistake. Kenny Omega could be this generation's Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair, but only if he's treated like the prestige act he is.
Keeping Omega further down the card or in tag team matches is a waste of his potential, and could hurt AEW moving forward.
