2 AEW stars who have taken a shot at Roman Reigns and 3 who have praised him

#1. AEW World Champion Kenny Omega thinks Roman Reigns could have been Number 1

AEW star Kenny Omega landed the top spot in the PWI 500 rankings, while Roman Reigns scored second spot. Many WWE fans were unhappy with the rankings and believed their Tribal Chief had a better year than Omega.

Omega appeared on the Pro Wrestling Illustrated podcast with PWI Editor-in-Chief Kevin McElvaney and spoke about the scenario. He named a few wrestlers who could have bagged the top spot, including Roman Reigns.

“I’ve really stepped outside of my own comfort zone, and not only that, but everyone else stepped up their game too. It’s fantastic that I don’t feel like, no matter how I look at it, I didn’t run away with it. I don’t think I was number one by far. I think the best part about this year, especially, is you could have went in multiple directions and no one would be disappointed. I feel that, up until his unfortunate injury, number one could have been Will Ospreay. Number one could have easily been Shingo Takagi. Number one could have easily been Roman Reigns,” Omega said.

Not only did the AEW star show a lot of humility, but he also praised Roman Reigns’ year in the ring. He has also expressed his desire to face the Universal Champion one day to determine the real champion.
