At WrestleMania 41, John Cena made history by defeating Cody Rhodes to capture his seventeenth World Championship, giving him essentially the most World Title reigns in history. Normally, this could’ve been the story of WrestleMania. As a substitute, it became secondary to Cena and Rhodes’ match, which has drawn ire from many for its use of rapper Travis Scott, and the absence of The Rock, who disappeared from WWE programming within the lead as much as WrestleMania, despite being the catalyst behind Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber.
Of all of the people one would expect to weigh in on this controversial Mania finish, AEW International Champion Kenny Omega would appear the least likely. And yet, during Omega’s return to Twitch 9 days ago, a fan chimed in, asking for Omega’s thoughts on Cena’s title win. Rotating between making quips and giving his serious opinion, Omega looked as if it would not likely know what to say, which is sensible, given he didn’t appear to be entirely aware of what happened at WrestleMania.
“Alright, so I didn’t see it,” Omega said. “I could not see it…but I’m just an enormous Cena fan, so to me, I do not see that as a foul thing if it’s done appropriately. But I do not know these items, ? I do not know anything. Leave me out of it.”
Omega does indeed have plenty on his plate to distract him from Cena’s title reign. Since retaining the International Championship against “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Ricochet at AEW Dynasty, Omega has crossed paths with old rival Kazuchika Okada, teasing a bout many imagine will occur at AEW All In later this Summer. The 2 will likely be on opposite teams on “AEW Dynamite” as well, with Omega teaming with Bailey, Kevin Knight, and Mark Briscoe to tackle Okada, the Young Bucks, and Ricochet.
