“We’re Still Second Best..I Believe Their Story”: Kenny Omega’s Quirky Response to Roman Reigns’ Bloodline Being Considered a Better Storyline Than the Elite

WWE and AEW have always been operating with a highly competitive spirit. Ever since Tony Khan’s AEW hit the wrestling world, the biggest promotion in the world got a reason to keep their sky-high confidence in check. But recently top AEW star Kenny Omega recognizes WWE’s iconic storyline, which is a rare occurrence between two rival promotions.

Even before All Elite Wrestling existed, a group of top stars comprising Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and Hangman Page started to tell a story of friendship, betrayal, and everything in between with the name of The Elite. Currently, rising AEW star Konosuke Takeshita has joined the group as an honorary member.

Kenny Omega recognizes The Bloodline’s supremacy over The Elite

On the latest episode of Being The Elite, Matt Jackson tried to give a summary of The Elite’s long-time saga to the new member, Takeshita. After his apparent disinterest in the conversation, Matt walked away. Shortly after, Nick Jackson interrupted labeling The Elite’s storyline as the best in history.

Takeshita opposed him by saying, “It’s okay. Bloodline much better,” In the later part of the show, Nick told Omega about Takeshita’s unexpected claim, only to get a more unexpected reply from ‘The Cleaner’.

Despite getting a little shock at first, Omega quickly came up with a joking affirmation.

He noted, ‘Are you serious? Well… oh, The Bloodline, right? Of course. I mean, we’re just a cheap copy, anyway. Ah, it’s nothing to worry about, whatever. It’s all good. We’re still second best. Third? Second, third? Not bad. I believe their story. I don’t believe what we’re doing …’

While it seemed like the AEW star jokingly had his say over the most popular WWE storyline, he might be serious as well.

WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts thinks The Elite is better than Bloodline

The Bloodline saga involving Roman Reigns and his cousins has been one of the most fan-favorite stories in the wrestling world at present. The angle involving Sami Zayn saw a huge response from fans for its compelling approach. So, Omega recognizing The Bloodline isn’t totally out of line, even if sarcastically.

With that being said, there are also people believing otherwise which include a former WWE personality.

WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts gives more credit to The Elite than The Bloodline and believes Kenny Omega is a true gem of the stable. During a recent episode of Cafe de Rene Podcast, Roberts noted, ”Oh, Kenny. Kenny and The Bucks without a doubt. I think Kenny Omega is f*** unbelievable. He is f*** on the spot. I don’t like a lot of stuff The Young Bucks do, but brother, they’re doing it and getting away with it.”

Now, we need to see how The Elite storyline furthers with Takeshita involved in it. Speaking of The Bloodline, they have their eyes set on Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Matt Riddle at backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico.
