Former WWE Superstar takes a dig at Kenny Omega after his off-air promo following AEW return
Cash Wheeler has taken a dig at Kenny Omega following his return to AEW. On this week's episode of Dynamite, the former world champion made his return for the first time since Full Gear 2021.
This past Wednesday, Omega teamed up with The Young Bucks in his return match to secure a win over Andrade El Idolo, Rush, and Dragon Lee. With the win, The Elite progressed into the next round of the World Trios Championship Tournament.
Post-match, Omega delivered a heartfelt promo after the cameras stopped rolling where he claimed that The Elite wasn't a "tribute act." Many have suggested that the former AEW World Champion was taking a dig at FTR who idolize Bret Hart.
Taking to Twitter, Wheeler posted the following photo and had a very interesting caption, to say the least.
