Former WWE Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods has sent a message to a top AEW star. Woods has interacted with the performer on social media many times in the past.
The major AEW star in question is none other than Kenny Omega. The Cleaner has been out of action for the past several months due to diverticulitis. He last wrestled on an episode of Collision in December 2023. Furthermore, there is no confirmation on when Omega will make his in-ring return.
WWE Superstar Xavier Woods recently shared a video on his Instagram Story showing a picture of Kenny Omega on the streets of Osaka, Japan. He even jokingly said the words, "You su**" while addressing The Cleaner. Woods wrote the following on his story:

AEW's Kenny Omega wants a boxing match with Xavier Woods
AEW star Kenny Omega has been friends with Xavier Woods for years. Omega even called out Woods for a boxing match during his Twitch stream a few months ago.
"Any wrestlers you think I might be able to fight in a real boxing match? Creed [Xavier Woods]. Actually, you know what? Creed, I honestly—it would be a good match. I actually think that’d be a really good match (…) But in an actual shoot boxing match. I think it’d be a good fight. I think it really would be. That’d be actually really good. I wouldn’t wanna hit him, though. I hate him; I don’t wanna hit him. I hate his guts, but I don’t wanna hit the guy. I don’t think he wants to hit me, either," Omega said.
In 2018, The Cleaner appeared on Woods' YouTube channel, UpUpDownDown, where Team Elite faced The New Day in a team battle in Street Fighter Five. It will be interesting to see whether they will collaborate on another project in the future.
