Tyson Smith (16. října 1983), známý jako Kenny Omega, je profesionální zápasník kanadského původu. Pracuje ve společnosti All Elite Wrestling (AEW), kde je také výkonným viceprezidentem.
Před odchodem do AEW v roce 2019[1] působil v New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), a to v letech 2014 až 2019.[2] Ve společnosti vyhrál několik hlavních titulů. Během kariéry také vystupoval na nezávislé scéně po celém světě, včetně DDT Pro-Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling a Pro Wrestling Guerrilla a i ve známějších společnostech, jako jsou Ring of Honor, Impact Wrestling a Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.
Patří k nejlepším wrestlerům na světě,[3][4] v roce 2017 byl jmenován zápasníkem roku časopisem Sports Illustrated a v následujícím roce ovládl seznam 500 nejlepších mužských zápasníků časopisu Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Třikrát získal ocenění Match of the Year. V roce 2020 byl uveden do Síně slávy Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Vyhýbá se užívání alkoholu a drog.[5] Od roku 2018 trpí závratí.[6]
Mluví plynně japonsky. V srpnu 2018 žil v Kacušice v Tokiu.[7] Vždy se mu japonská kultura líbila.[8] V roce 2016 uvedl, že není ve vztahu, protože se chce naplno věnovat wrestlingu.[9]
Na platformě Twitch streamuje pod přezdívkou thecleanerscorner.[10]
