I completely agree. I have seen people elsewhere on the internet saying he's the biggest name that could turn up, which I think is total rubbish. AJ Styles was much better known, mainly because of his time in TNA. Working in Japan cemented his place as somebody WWE should pick up, but the main reason it was a big deal is because for ten years he was TNA's biggest name and so if you were even slightly active on the internet wrestling community, it was pretty difficult not to hear about him.

Kenny Omega has only really blown up in the last couple of months, at least from the perspective of someone who doesn't follow NJPW and even then his scope is pretty limited to the more hardcore fan base.

Kenny Omega is certainly a level below AJ Styles and I'd say he's a level below Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor who all started in NXT, maybe even people like Austin Aries and Bobby Roode who got significant exposure in TNA at it's height (which had a similar number of viewers that Raw gets now.)

Being a top 4 PPV the Royal Rumble is generally a smart crowd, I think he would get a very good reaction.  Just look at the crowd last year, all it took was the screen to say Phenomenal and the crowd lost their minds.

As I said, I think AJ was just much bigger star. But who knows, I wish Omega all the best, he is very talented

Time will tell but I also don't think they'll be anywhere near the Rumble. Maybe Takeover at a push.
