Omega reportedly also got himself a full-time job at an airport, however, prior to his all-together retirement from Pro Wrestling, Omega had one last match in himself when a local promoter booked him in a one-on-one match against AJ Styles and the former had made up his mind to wrestle the match and retire afterward.
However, what followed next was one of the most inspiring stories in the world of Professional Wrestling, as Omega got completely blown away by AJ Styles’ in-ring athleticism that eventually re-established his love for Pro Wrestling.
