"Roman's 4 moves draw more audiences" - Twitter erupts after surprising comparison between WWE's Roman Reigns and former AEW World Champion
The wrestling world reacted to a comparison between Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega on social media.
The Tribal Chief has been dominant in the global juggernaut since winning the Universal Championship at Payback 2020. He has brushed aside credible opponents like Brock Lesnar, Edge, John Cena, and Bryan Danielson (f.k.a. Daniel Bryan), to name a few.
At WrestleMania 38, Reigns defeated Lesnar to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. His next major title is set to take place against Drew McIntyre at the upcoming Clash at the Castle pay-per-view.
Meanwhile, Kenny Omega became the third world champion in AEW by defeating Jon Moxley at the Winter Is Coming event in 2020. He successfully defended the title against the likes of Moxley, Pac, Orange Cassidy, etc., before losing the gold to Hangman Page at Full Gear 2021.
The Cleaner took a hiatus following the world title loss to recover from multiple injuries. He made his return on last week's edition of Dynamite, teaming up with The Young Bucks in the trios tournament.
Twitter user "WrestleCringe" recently shared a picture comparing the accomplishments and weaknesses of Roman Reigns and Kenny Omega. You can check it out HERE.
Naturally, the Twitterati exploded as both are pivotal members of the top two pro wrestling promotions. Here are a few of the reactions:
@WrestIeCringe I find Kenny more entertaining in the ring, prefer his work, but Roman can also produce golf with the right talent and his change over the last couple of years has elevated him.
Both are great for different reasons.
@WrestIeCringe Roman big matches get 2.4 million live viewers Kenny return match got 863k end of story
@WrestIeCringe Who makes the company they are in more money…. I like Kenny but Roman is the Top Guy
@WrestIeCringe Roman's 4 moves draw more audiences and money than kenny's 400+ moves
@WrestIeCringe Kenny is definitely a top 20 wrestler. But he will always be below Roman Reigns. Kenny may be a better wrestler but Roman is by far a better performer and entertainer then Kenny
@WrestIeCringe I mean Kenny is better so
.@WrestIeCringe It’s no comparison. Reigns is a generational talent. He is truly this generations 🐐. https://t.co/Bm1aPfCTxo
@Mewm1n @WrestIeCringe both are overrated, B+ midcarders, Roman have a pretty good family so he can skip the line, Kenny nobody cared about him untill his match with Okada, he will be aways the other AJ
@WrestIeCringe 5 star ranked matches and performers are worthless and meaningless on the grand scheme of things if they can't even hook a lot of casuals into the industry.

Jim Cornette slammed Kenny Omega's promo on AEW Dynamite
Following The Cleaner and The Young Bucks' victory against La Faccion Ingobernable on the Wednesday night show, Omega cut a promo stating his goals in pro wrestling.
Jim Cornette wasn't a fan of the segment and expressed his displeasure on the latest edition of the Jim Cornette Experience:
"He is going to change the f***ing way I throw up after dinner. Maybe he is going to send it to you by mental telepathy. These thwarts are convinced that they are hugely important. Vastly more important than they actually are. But the douchebaggery drips from them every time you hear them speak. And who are they trying to identify with here? Other douchebags with sing-song voices?" said Cornette.
Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks will face the winners of the match between United Empire and Death Triangle in the semi-finals of the trios tournament. It will be interesting to see if they go the distance and capture the gold at the All Out pay-per-view.
