5 Reasons Why Kenny Omega Could Be The Saviour For WWE

Can Kenny Omega help stop the rut WWE is in right now?
Can Kenny Omega help stop the rut WWE is in right now?

WWE is going through a rough time right now. Fans have started turning on them, the ratings keep nosediving every week and many of its top wrestlers are injured. Even the storytelling and the quality of the product is not up to the mark considering everything and has thus forced the company to take a step back and acknowledge that they've been going about this the wrong way.

With WWE in such a situation, should adding someone like Kenny Omega make a difference? With the latest news revealing that WWE has made a very attractive offer to Kenny Omega we look at why adding someone like Kenny Omega to the roster could actually bring WWE out of the rut it is going through right now.


#1 The Master of 7-star ratings

There aren't many wrestlers in the world of wrestling who have put on classics with such a frequency as Kenny Omega has in the last few years. The build-up, as well as the final matches that Kenny Omega has had against Okada, have been so good that Dave Meltzer threw out his rating sheet and gave the fourth edition of Omega Vs Okada a 7-Star rating.

There aren't many matches in WWE that even come close to a four-star rating (with all due respect to even the top stars in WWE, they just don't) we have a guy who has with utmost consistency dished out matches that are a certainty as a contender for match of the year. Such a superstar will improve the all-around quality of the show if he's around and allowed to do his own thing.

#2 One of the best in the ring and on the mic

There aren't many in the world who come close to being the complete package. John Cena was amazing on the mic but many a time his wrestling prowess(sometimes unwarranted though) in the ring came into question.

Roman Reigns on the mic was average at best and because of the excessive push that he got ended up rubbing the audience the wrong way. AJ Styles might be the best ever in the ring but on the mic, he still doesn't evoke the same reactions.

In Kenny Omega you have someone who is not only delivering high-quality matches day in day out but is also charismatic on the mic. He has the look, the charisma and even sounds like the star, a complete package by all means.

#3 One of the best creative professional wrestlers in the world

Kenny Omega has said it time and again that he doesn't consider himself a wrestler, rather he thinks of himself as an artist. An artist that choreographs each and everything that he does in the ring to perfection and produces a piece of art to admire by anyone.

His "Cleaner" gimmick, his stint in the earlier stages as the leader of the Bullet Club and even at various times during his feuds with Okada and even Chris Jericho he has taken storytelling to a different level which has helped in building up a fight to unprecedented levels.

Storytelling is something in which many of the current feuds suffer massively in WWE, many things happen without reason or any justification which puts off the fans as they're left with themselves to figure out why some things actually took place.

Bringing in one of the most creative wrestlers can actually help in putting such a thing to rest and elevate the quality of the product that WWE puts out.

#4 He's a big deal in the world of professional wrestling

He's not only one of the highest paid wrestlers in NJPW right now but also one of the highest rated professional wrestlers in the world

Kenny Omega has been one of the best performers in a wrestling ring for the last 3-4 years. His work has driven recognition from all corners. So much so that it lured Chris Jericho out of the woods from WWE into the world of NJPW to actually get involved in a feud with Kenny Omega and put on one of the matches of the year.

Kenny Omega, despite not being part of the biggest brands in wrestling is still one of the biggest names in professional wrestling right now. Remember the ovation AJ Styles received when he first walked out during the Royal Rumble? Kenny would receive an Ovation similar or even bigger than that if he does the same.

#5 Dream feuds

WWE is fraught with talented wrestlers. AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura, Seth Rollins and many more. Wouldn't the fans want to see a feud between Kenny Omega and these Wrestlers?

Kenny Omega was the man who disbanded AJ Styles from the Bullet Club and took over as the leader so that's a feud that can easily start as soon as Kenny steps into the WWE.

Similarly, a feud with amazing performers like Finn Balor (another Bullet Club member) or a Daniel Bryan is only going to make the dreams come true of the many wrestling purists around the world.

Remember the hype behind the Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles matchup at WrestleMania last year? Just imagine the momentum a Kenny Omega vs AJ Styles match would gain if it ever happens.
