Kenny Omega is a master of long-term storytelling. Here is a quick speculation of how the next few years in AEW could play out for the current AEW world champion. He might (after defeating PAC and Orange Cassidy at Double or Nothing this weekend, and subsequently defeating men like The Machine Brian Cage and Christian Cage in the coming months) finish his title reign by losing the AEW world title to Hangman Page Around the beginning of 2022. It’s a foregone conclusion that Omega will hold the world title for at least a year (he won the title on December 2, 2020 from Jon Moxley at Winter is Coming).
Upon putting over Hangman Page by giving him his first AEW world championship victory, Kenny Omega can reinforce the story that has been going on for years that the Elite is a brotherhood by letting bygones be bygones and resurrecting the tag team with Page, and possibly even quitting the tag team titles again in AEW (the second time this particular team would become AEW world tag team champions). The American Dream Cody Rhodes could get involved next, because he was originally supposed to be included in the Elite when they were scheduled to participate in the first Stadium Stampede match against the Inner Circle on March 25, 2020.
In June of that year, Cody said on an episode of Dynamite, “I guess I’m still a member of the Elite.” On top of that, there are reports right now that Cody is having creative disputes with the Elite (at least in storyline) which ironically lends itself perfectly to a story like this manifesting in the future. A dispute between Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega could ultimately lead to a major match (maybe Stadium Stampede next year) between the Elite and the Nightmare Family. Once again Cody and the Elite could resurrect their brotherhood.
However, Dustin Rhodes, the brother, could conceivably have a problem with this. This might lead to a dispute between the two brothers and culminate with another match between the Rhodes brothers. The one match AEW has orchestrated between the two brothers at the company’s first-ever event Double or Nothing in May 2019 was one of the greatest stories I can remember in wrestling history, particularly one that included two brothers.
