Kenny Omega, long celebrated among AEW fans as the “best match machine,” has started blending more underground wrestling styles from his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Speaking to “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Omega shared that with the variety of matches on the AEW Revolution 2025 card — including hardcore bouts and Will Ospreay’s intense cage match — he realized that sticking to his usual high-flying spots might cause his match to get overlooked. Instead, he chose to focus on telling a genuine story through his emotions and facial expressions to create a deeper connection with the audience. This approach paid off as Konosuke Takeshita won the AEW International Championship and became the first Grand Slam champion in AEW’s six-year history.
Fan Take: This news highlights Omega’s growth as a performer and his ability to innovate thoughtfully within AEW’s diverse match atmosphere. For fans, it signals a shift toward more emotionally driven storytelling in wrestling, which could elevate the sport’s narrative depth and fan engagement.
