#4 AEW teases that Kenny Omega might get a new persona going forward

The Cleaner is gone

In the latest episode of Being The Elite, AEW teased that Kenny Omega might be debuting a new gimmick in the near future. One of the recent storylines has featured Kenny Omega's descent into madness, as he has become wayward while making incoherent promos.

In the Being The Elite episode, Matt Jackson called Omega on his cell phone and left a voice mail message about that he was worried about his state of mind.

He also said, (H/T Wrestling Inc for the transcription)

"I know how weird things are, the narrative online has changed. But I just wanted to remind you that this whole thing started with us. This whole thing started with the three of us. The Elite. This movement. They're calling it a revolution now. And I just miss that guy we started this all with. I miss, I miss all the adventures we went on with you, Kenny. I miss the Kenny who we seconded down to the ring during all those big matches with Okada. I miss the Kenny with the killer instinct."

"Someone told us recently, that Nick and I lost our killer instinct, too. But I'm ready to find it again. And in D.C., we start this new adventure. We start our big television show. We start Dynamite on TNT. And Kenny we need you. We're in a fight that night that we don't even know what we're getting into. We don't even know who we're wrestling. What I'm trying to say is we need the old Kenny. We need that Kenny. Kenny, we need...we need 'The Cleaner.'"

Omega picks up the sunglasses and throws them in the trash. He can be overheard saying, "I'm just getting started." For those unaware, 'The Cleaner' was the character that Kenny had when he was in NJPW, during his Bullet Club run. The gimmick is best described as a recreation of Sylvester Stallone's Cobra character, combined with other video game characters.

It seems that AEW wants to do something new. They might even debut this new side of Kenny Omega on the debut episode of AEW Dynamite. It should make for interesting viewing.
