It's no surprise to learn that Omega has Reigns as a specific opponent that he'd like to face. The Tribal Chief has had a phenomenal year and has carried SmackDown on his shoulder. Similarly, Omega has been the centerpiece of AEW for the past year.
The leader of The Elite is ranked as the top wrestler in the PWI top 500 2021 list. Reigns ended up second on the list. A match between Omega and Reigns would certainly be a treat for wrestling fans.
