Kenny Omega praises Kevin Owens.
Kevin Owens and Kenny Omega have traveled many of the same roads en route to becoming the global superstars they are today. While they have not wrestled since acquiring their global Superstar status as they are both staples of separate promotions, WWE and AEW respectively, Kenny Omega and Kevin Owens have shared the ring several times.
Kenny and Kevin faced each other during the PWG Battle of Los Angeles in 2009 and they also faced each other once again at ROH From The Ashes in 2010.
Reflecting on wrestling Kevin on his Twitter account, Kenny Omega would say that while they never got a chance to truly have a program together and have more than a brief match on short notice, Omega knows that Kevin Owens has been "the real deal" for many years.
Even though we only did it a few times and on very short notice, it was always a joy. He’s been the real deal for a looong time. https://t.co/RXH8nctMel
