Kenny Omega Sends A Strong Message To His WRESTLE DYNASTY Opponent Gabe Kidd

This rivalry has gotten extremely personal.

Kenny Omega’s return match is not going to be an easy one on January 5th. The former AEW World Champion will be fighting The NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd, who isn’t afraid of speaking his mind. That includes to Mr. Omega, where Kidd has questioned Omega’s love for New Japan and whether the 41-year-old still has what it takes to even step into the ring with him. 

Naturally, that sparked a response from Omega and the AEW star somewhat dismissed the accomplishments of the Strong Openweight Champion. As you can imagine, Kidd wasn’t happy about the disrespect. That ended in violence between the two wrestlers back in November.

Kidd explained himself and how frustrated he is with Omega clowning him as if he was a nobody.

"I was just trying to have a conversation with him, but I was pissed. Listen, I said this to him before anything, before pro wrestling, I'm a man, a very mad one, so if you disrespect me like that, I hate when these people like MJF and Kenny, they try to act like they don't know what my name is because they're not cool and they try to act cool in front of these other people, wrestling fans, who are also not cool. It's just a bunch of not cool people trying to act cool and it ain't a good look, you get slapped for that where I'm from. So, I was just trying to have a conversation with him what happened, happened."

"So, I think you know my phone's been blowing up the past hour, everyone, all these little nerds on the internet, they're like, 'who's this guy, why is he stepping to the GOAT?' I don't even care about any you little nerds, I don't even care what you think of this guy, you worship this man and I slapped the s**t outta him backstage after he got rude. So, you can't say anything to me, this guy you worship got bitched out by me. That's all I got to say on that."

The rivalry only cranked up further from there. We’re less than two weeks away from Kenny Omega’s return and the AEW star released one more promo to continue hyping up his match against Gabe Kidd.
