* BaitAndSwitch: In early 2019, Kenny was a free agent with rumors rampant that he was heading to WWE.[[note]]For bonus points, had Omega signed around the time the episode was taped, he would've probably had the chance to appear at the Wrestling/RoyalRumble.[[/note]]. On Episode 137 of BTE, Kenny went to Nick Jackson for some advice [[spoiler: on whether to start playing the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 PS4]] remake of VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 as Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield]].

** The villainous Cleaner character is a powerhungry psycho with an almost entirely black outfit that includes a leather jacket and aviator-style sunglasses along with his wrestling gear. The only color other than black that he wears is white, and he also has unmistakable stylized gray[[note]]or in his case gray-dyed blonde[[/note]] hair. His stage screen graphic will often feature UsefulNotes/PlayStation2-graphic-style fire burning behind a picture of him. His theme song, called "Devil's Sky", sounds like it belongs on a final boss or pivotal mid-boss character of an epic EasternRPG. Oh, and his finisher is called the OneWingedAngel. [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Now where have]] [[Film/{{Cobra}} we heard and]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII seen all of]] [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry that before?]] Then there's the late addition of the [[Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura Bom]]...erm, [[VideoGame/StreetFighterV V-Trigger]] to his arsenal.

* OneHitKill: The One-Winged Angel itself. While many an opponent has managed to escape from its setup, ''nobody'' in his entire New Japan run has ever managed to kick out of it, making it this for all intents and purposes.

* IMeantToDoThat: Played off the failed exploding ring at Revolution as an intentional thing to embarrass Jon Moxley, although with a quite clear implication he's trying to save face.

* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: Fluent in Japanese; he often cut promos in Japanese during his stint in DDT. He sticks with English as a heel in NJPW, but occasionally [[SuddenlyBilingual sneaks some Japanese in]] during promos and interviews.

** At ''Double or Nothing 2023'', Omega emulates ComicBook/CaptainAmerica by [[ShieldBash wielding a trash can lid]] much like how Steve Rogers would hold his shield, even using the [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom Charging Star]] twice. Hilariously, as pointed out by the commentators, Omega's outfit in that match is an inspiration to Cap, with the star being replaced with an Omega symbol and the Canadian maple leaf.

* InadequateInheritor: His return to NJPW in time for Wrestle Kingdom 17 saw Kenny target Will Ospreay, who he viewed as this. In his return address, Kenny called to mind how he viewed Will as one of his successors to his role as the top ''gaijin'' in New Japan while he left to form AEW, and specifically took both Will and the United Empire at large to task for the smaller clap-only crowds ([[InsaneTrollLogic despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic]]).

** ''Wrestle Kingdom 17'' saw his homages and love for ''FFVII'' reach its peak, with Kenny not coming out to either "Battle Cry" or "Devil's Sky"... but to "One-Winged Angel" itself while cosplaying as Sephiroth.

* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: While Omega is widely respected by most of the wrestling business, Wrestling/JimCornette's almost visceral hatred of him is likely only exceeded by his hatred of Wrestling/VinceRusso...and even that's debatable.


Added DiffLines:

** He's thrown several jabs at Wrestling/JimCornette and Cornette's fanbase on social media in return for the abuse Cornette has hurled at him. Cornette, of course, always hits right back.
