AEW star Kenny Omega can not tolerate fans slamming former Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns.
Reigns was the face of the WWE for several years. He carried the Undisputed WWE Championship on his shoulders and brought glory to the title. His epic 1316-day championship reign ended at WrestleMania 40 when Cody Rhodes pinned him to finish his story and become the new champion.
During his latest Twitch livestream, a fan mentioned Reigns in the chat section. Before the said person could say anything negative about The Tribal Chief, the AEW star mentioned that he is not okay with fans slandering him.
"No... I'm not gonna accept any Roman Reigns slander in this chat. I really think he's incredible and I don't think he's boring either. I actually would say I'm pretty jealous because Roman Reigns is presented the exact same way that I would love to be presented."

The Cleaner added that he is a Roman Reigns fan and acknowledged The Tribal Chief for what he has done in pro wrestling.
"He's presented as The Man whose the champion to have big matches at the Pay-Per-Views where your really cheering for him or cheering for someone else. That's professional wrestling. He's getting the deal what I did in New Japan so I can't be a hater on that. I'm a fan." [From 02:06:19 to 02:06:56]
Kenny Omega has a lot of respect for Roman Reigns
On top of being a Roman Reigns fan, Kenny Omega has also mentioned that he respects The Head of the Table very much. He made this comment on another Twitch stream a few weeks ago.
"So I have the utmost respect for Roman. I think he was the one of the greatest WWE champions that you just wanted to see someone win the belt off of, which is very important. It’s important to wanna see your champion hold the belt, but it’s also important to have a champion where you can’t wait until someone just actually takes it off of 'em, you know what I mean? So I think in that regard, he was one of the greatest," he said.
Reigns was last seen at WrestleMania 40 during his match against The American Nightmare. On the recent edition of SmackDown, Paul Heyman informed the WWE Universe that the leader of The Bloodline has withdrawn from the 2024 Draft and won't be on TV for some time.
