Kenny Omega responds after being accused of taking a dig at CM Punk
Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega sets the record straight after accusations of taking a dig at CM Punk.
On the latest episode of Being the Elite, fans witnessed some intriguing backstage moments that left them speculating about a potential dig at CM Punk. Kenny Omega was featured in a scene that had fans buzzing.
During the episode, Omega expressed his dissatisfaction after a questionable business deal involving the sale of the Hung Bucks trademark between Matt Jackson and John Silver. In an attempt to lift his spirits, Omega took a sip of a mysterious beverage that fans thought was Pepsi.
The scene didn't go unnoticed, as many fans speculated that it was a sly reference to CM Punk, who has a Pepsi logo tattooed on his left shoulder. Given the reported tension between Punk and The Elite stemming from last year's All Out pay-per-view and the recent release of the former world champion, fans couldn't help but connect the dots.
However, AEW star Kenny Omega took to Twitter to clarify the situation, putting the rumors to rest. He replied to a post and stated that it was "water with electrolytes," implying that it was not Pepsi.
"Water with electrolytes. Stop it. Please," Omega tweeted.
