Go To

  • Kenny paying homage to Bullet Club's previous two aces, Prince Devitt and AJ Styles, by using their finishing moves to win the 2016 G1 Climax. Then after the match, when he had the opportunity to wave the flag of the G1 Climax, he declined and chose to wave the Bullet Club flag instead. Its nice to know that despite how much Kenny prioritized The Elite during his run as Bullet Club's leader, deep down he was still loyal to the group and cared about their lineage in NJPW.
  • The reunion of the Golden☆Lovers at night two of New Beginning in Sapporo 2018. After a grueling match with Jay White where he lost the IWGP United States Championship, Kenny is on edge and unintentionally shoves Matt Jackson of The Young Bucks to the mat. With the Bucks gone and Marty Scurll conflicted, no one can save Omega from the assault by Cody. That is, until Kota Ibushi comes out and chases the assailants away, seemingly to repay Kenny for saving him at New Year's Dash. In a highly emotional moment, Ibushi offers his former friend his hand. It seems like Kenny is about reject Kota, but instead, the two embrace to the delight of the fans as streamers fall down around them. The Golden☆Lovers are back!
  • When Omega finally defeated Kazuchika Okada at Dominion 2018, Kenny briefly refused to take up the IWGP Heavyweight Title belt; he first pulled his "Golden Elite" partners - Ibushi and the Bucks - into a Group Hug, celebrating his ultimate accomplishment with his closest friends before accepting his prize.
    • Not only that, but in his post match promo, Kenny stated that the reason he beat Okada this time around was because he let go of his anger and let love fill his heart.
  • Whenever the Young Bucks are in his corner when he have a match, they will give Kenny a hug of support. They are True Companions indeed
  • In a video package on AEW Dark highlighting Big Swole's struggles with Crohn's Disease, Kenny is shown - in his behind the scenes role as head of AEW's Women's Division - gushing about how awesome Swole did in her first match and offering her a contract on the spot.
  • On the September 2, 2020 Episode of Dynamite Kenny Omega came out in a Hana Kimura T-Shirt, paying tribute to the late wrestler on what would have been her 23rd birthday.
  • After years of The Bucks being there to celebrate all of Kenny's championship victories, Kenny finally got to return the favor after The Bucks won the AEW Tag Team titles.
  • In the backstage brawl during the aftermath of the contentious All Out 2022 media scrum with CM Punk, Kenny Omega was involved not because he wanted to fight but instead because he wanted to fetch Larry the Dog to protect him from getting harmed by the ensuing chaos. He really is a friend to all animals.
