Top AEW star reacts to his 9-year-old throwback photo with Hollywood star Keanu Reeves
A top AEW star recently reflected on a fond memory with movie star Keanu Reeves after a video clip and picture of the duo started to do the rounds on social media.
The star in question is former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega. He got a picture with the John Wick actor at an airport in Tokyo while waiting for a flight back to Canada.
The abovementioned picture was coupled with a 2017 clip of Omega telling the story about how he met Reeves. After noticing the image floating around on Twitter, the former AEW World Champion posted the following:
"Back in the days of stocking Costco shelves, customers/staff would sometimes say that I looked like Keanu. [I still say he looks much younger than me]. A brief but fun chat over sushi and Coke Zero. Great memory," tweeted @KennyOmegamanX.
Omega and Keanu Reeves interacted when the former was with his then-Bullet Club stablemate, Bad Luck Fale. The 41-year-old surprisingly had no idea who Reeves was and had never heard of The Matrix movies.
Kenny Omega will appear on AEW Collision this weekend
On the most recent episode of Dynamite, Kenny Omega told Renee Paquette that he was ready to get back in the title picture and prove to everyone why he was considered The Best Bout Machine.
Omega's title aspirations might factor into his appearance on the upcoming episode of Collision, as MJF will also be appearing on the show. The program is set to air on October 28, 2023.
MJF is just a few weeks away from surpassing Omega as the longest-reigning World Champion in All Elite Wrestling history. However, The Cleaner might be looking for a way to stop that from happening.
