6 Potential storylines for AEW following last week's Dynamite (15th July 2020)

#1 The Return of The Cleaner

Kenny Omega attacks Marko Stunt at Fight for the Fallen 2020

It was recently reported that AEW has planned all along to build Kenny Omega up to be a top star from year 2 onwards. This would explain his booking in the company thus far. When AEW was launched, there were only a handful signings that had the same level of excitement when it was confirmed that Omega was joining the company.

Long suspected to be joining the company due to his friendship with The Elite, fans expected huge things from the top New Japan star.

However, instead of getting his classic 45-minute plus matches, Omega has mostly worked to put over the likes of Joey Janela.

Instead of competing for the AEW World Title, Omega has spent the majority of his time in the tag team division. His matches have been excellent, but fans of his Japanese career has not been great thus far.

This may be set to change however as reports and rumors have recently been circulating that Omega is due to bring back his moniker of The Cleaner. If true we would see an angry and more focused version of Omega who could easily climb the ranks to the main event of AEW.

We may have seen the first glimpse of this character in the upstart promotion. Following his match against Jurassic Express, Kenny Omega attacked Marko Stunt.

Once The Young Bucks had separated Omega from the diminutive Stunt, the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion could be seen smirking to himself in the corner. This may be an indication that Omega is soon going to turn heel possibly as a result of his own frustration with how the first year of his AEW career has gone. If this is the case it won't be long until we have a feud between Moxley and Omega which is sure to steal the show.
