The Canadian executive vice president and wrestler at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is Kenny Omega, born Tyson Smith on October 16, 1983. Omega has previously appeared in Ring of Honor, Impact Wrestling, and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.
He has also competed in independent wrestling promotions such as DDT Pro-Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. Kenny is a long-term member of the Bullet Club and was previously its leader.
Omega is best known for his stint in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) from 2014 to 2019, during which time he won many titles, including the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.
Omega made his AEW debut in 2019, and he was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 2020. One of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, Omega was named Sports Illustrated's Wrestler of the Year in 2017 and was ranked #1 by Pro Wrestling Illustrated among the top 500 male wrestlers in 2018 and 2021.
In June 2018, at Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall, he won Match of the Year, the highest rating he has ever given a professional wrestling match. The match pitted Omega against Kazuchika Okada in a two-out-of-three fall match. Dave Meltzer, a sports writer, witnessed the match and gave it a seven-star rating.
Who is Kenny Omega’s wife?
Kenny Omega is neither married nor in a relationship as of November 2023. Fans have always wanted to know more about Omega’s personal life, but he has said nothing about it or his present relationship situation. He keeps his private affairs totally confidential, despite the fact that the majority of his information is publicly available. Hikaru Shida and Riho are frequently associated with Kenny Omega for a romantic angle, but neither wrestler has said anything.
Is Kenny Omega Gay?
Omega has been so silent for so long that fans have begun to wonder if he is bisexual, especially considering his tag team affiliation and tight relationship with Kota Ibushi. Omega and Kota Ibushi established a tag team called Golden Lovers, and together they have won two KO-D Tag Team Championships.
Eventually, Kenny Omega joined the Bullet Club and rose to the position of leader. But in 2018, the group turned against him; subsequently, Kota Ibushi came to his aid. They reorganized as a team and played a lot of matches together. Many fans thought that the Golden Lovers were real-life lovers because of how passionate and heartfelt the reunion was. Rumors about the former AEW World Champion's sexual orientation have surfaced since then.
In an interview, Dave Doyle of Yahoo Sports questioned Kenny Omega about the Golden Lovers' sexual orientation. "Let people think what they want to think," was Omega's response to him. He went on to say that he was fine with LGBT individuals believing that the Golden Lovers were their team.
In addition, Kenny Omega disclosed that Ibushi was his first Japanese friend. Omega said, It's the twenty-first century, and you should be free to love professional wrestling just like everyone else, regardless of your sexual orientation. According to Sportsmanor, Omega had previously stated, “I’ve come this far; I can’t fail now. I can’t start thinking about you know I need to search for a wife or a boyfriend, or I wish I could raise a family." So, basically, it is unclear whether he is gay or not.
