#3 Booker T recently praised AEW World Champion Kenny Omega

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE legend Booker T recently had plenty of praise for AEW World Champion Kenny Omega. Booker T called Kenny Omega the "real deal", saying that he was someone who could wrestle anybody on the roster and make it look good:

"He's different than any other wrestler out there," said Booker T. "His work style, something that makes you go 'wow' this guy's good. He can literally go in so many different areas of the psychology game as well. So he's the full package, and he can work with anybody. That right there, just to let you known for me, he is the real deal."

Kenny Omega was recently called out by AEW's newest star Bryan Danielson. Although Danielson challenged Omega to a match, it's unclear whether Omega will accept the newcomer's invitation.
