(Omega is an excellent pro wrestler however his feelings for his friends have him go through a difficult time, After he became the leader of the Bullet Club, The villainous group tried to attack his friend Kota Ibushi however Kenny despite being leader of an evil stable still couldn't do it due to his feelings.
