Omega is referring to his time as a Super Junior in NJPW. Omega held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title on two separate occasions in 2015. Murphy was going nowhere in NXT before deciding to cut to 205 in order to be part of the 205 Live brand.

Seeing the tweet in his mentions, Murphy offered a reply to Omega.
