Tony Khan’s Top AEW Star “Jealous” Over Roman Reigns’ Booking in WWE; Desires Similar Treatment

Kenny Omega and Roman Reigns are two of the most prominent talents of the current generation of wrestlers. Both have become the pillars of their respective companies (AEW and WWE). This has led some of their fans to criticize one or the other wrestler in order to defend their favorite company.

However, being a real professional in the sport, Kenny Omega does not believe in doing the same. So he recently tried to talk things out with his fans while revealing his jealousy of The Tribal Chief.

Kenny Omega says he won’t “accept any Roman Reigns slander”

The bad-mouthing of one promotion or wrestler to praise the other has become somewhat of a toxic trait in a lot of wrestling fans. An attitude that Omega wanted to settle in a recent stream on its Twitch channel. The former AEW World Champion made it clear that he would not consent to any slander towards Roman Reigns. He then shared his admiration for him, his prominence in WWE stories, and why he was jealous of his booking. He said, “No… I’m not gonna accept any Roman Reigns slander in this chat. I really think he’s incredible and I don’t think he’s boring either… I actually would say I’m pretty jealous because Roman Reigns is presented the exact same way that I would love to be presented. He’s presented as The Man whose the champion to have big matches at the Pay-Per-Views where you’re either really cheering for him or cheering for someone else… That’s professional wrestling. He’s getting the deal what I did in New Japan so I can’t be a hater on that. I’m a fan.”

Currently, both Reigns and Omega have taken to the sidelines from the action for a variety of reasons. The Samoan is enjoying some time off after losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL. At the moment, it is unknown when it will return to the company’s programming. However, some rumors point to a return heading into SummerSlam.

For his part, Omega has been away from the ring since the end of last year. The former AEW World Champion learned of his diverticulitis diagnosis and has taken time to focus on his health. In fact, the situation reached a concerning point wherein Omega had to be rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, the AEW star received proper medical attention in time. Although he continues to deal with the effects of his digestive disorder. But when can we get to see him next? Well, the day is not that far away.

Omega makes his return to AEW Dynamite next week

Concern about his health reached a worrying point, but as the months went by, he improved. But he was still not close to fighting again. Dave Meltzer reported that Omega plans to have surgery soon. Although fans received a pleasant surprise on Wednesday.
