Former AEW Champion reacts after being compared to Roman Reigns
AEW star Kenny Omega recently reacted after trending on Twitter during WrestleMania Backlash 2022, with fans comparing him to Roman Reigns.
The Cleaner has been out of action since Full Gear 2021, where he dropped his AEW World Championship to his long-time rival Hangman Page. Since then, Omega has taken a much-needed hiatus from wrestling to recuperate from several injuries he has struggled with over the last few years.
Despite being away, Kenny Omega remains a hot topic on Twitter, with his fans and detractors consistently going back-and-forth about him. A few hours back, Twitterati began comparing The Cleaner to Roman Reigns, leading to Omega trending throughout WrestleMania Backlash.
Kenny Omega tweeted that he was surprised to see himself trend despite being away for more than six months now. Omega also shared his disappointment that fans were still comparing him to other performers, though he didn't specifically mention the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Check out his tweet below:
"Umm, why am I trending? I’ve done nothing but get sliced up and struggle through rehab all this year. *checks timeline* Oh, I see. We’re still doing that comparing thing every show…," tweeted Kenny Omega.
