5 AEW stars you probably didn't know are friends in real life

#2. Kenny Omega and former AEW Women’s Champion Riho

Kenny Omega is currently playing one of the best heel characters in AEW. The former AEW World Champion has his friends around him to give him the boost he needs.

Riho, on the other hand, has been a top star in AEW's women’s division. She is the inaugural AEW Women’s World Champion and could go on to win the title again.

Backstage, the two wrestlers are good friends who have worked together in the past. They worked as a tag team long ago, and Omega was the one who called Riho to join AEW:

"I don't know if you can call it a bond. We tagged together maybe five, maybe eight years ago. I think when he saw me compete, he was fascinated with regards to my potential."

"From what I've heard since then, he's watched my matches and stayed updated with regard to my progress. He was the one who called me down. Yeah, for him to be interested in my career after so many years is special."

It’s impressive how the two have shared a bond over the years and have done well in their respective positions. It’d be great to see them team up in AEW someday for a mixed tag team match.
