AEW’s Kenny Omega Praises WWE Star For ‘Incredible’ Impact On The Industry

AEW/WWE

AEW EVP Kenny Omega has shared praise for WWE star John Cena, explaining why he thinks the 16-time world champion is incredible.

Speaking on a Twitch stream, Omega confirmed that he’s a fan of John Cena. Omega noted that he doesn’t believe anyone will be able to match Cena’s contributions to pro-wrestling anytime soon.

Believing that Cena is a great example of what a face of a wrestling company should be, Omega said:

“No, I have not (met Cena), but I think he’s great. Great professional wrestler. He’s done an incredible amount for the business, I don’t think anyone will be able to match anytime soon.

“The reason why is because Cena wasn’t doing anything for the sake of an accomplishment or trophy or recognition. People went out of their way after the fact to say, ‘look at all this stuff John is doing in his off time.’

“Maybe he even laughs at it himself, but for the amount of effort he has put in to make people’s lives better, whether it be Make A Wish, fans at the arenas, or autograph signings, it’s a great example for what the face of a company should be or for the face of the industry.

“I’m a very big proponent of John Cena. I think he’s incredible.”

While Cena hasn’t wrestled since losing to Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel in November 2023, there has been some speculation about him potentially appearing at WrestleMania 40 in April.

An update recently emerged on John Cena’s Hollywood schedule, which you can read more about right here.
