WWE legend John Cena has responded to recent comments made by AEW star Kenny Omega, showcasing mutual respect between the two wrestling icons.

Kenny Omega showered praise on Cena on his Twitch stream, hailing him as the “Greatest of All-Time” in WWE. Despite never meeting Cena in person, Omega spoke highly of Cena’s contributions to professional wrestling. He emphasised on the latter’s enduring legacy and positive influence on the industry.

Cena and Omega have been absent from the wrestling arena for quite some time. Omega has been sidelined indefinitely since December 2023 following a Diverticulitis diagnosis. Cena, on the other hand, has not made any appearance on WWE TV since Crown Jewel 2023 in November. With WWE WrestleMania 40 approaching, there are reports that WWE is planning to bring Cena in for a role on the grandest pro wrestling stage.

Also, Cena’s recent interactions with AEW stars, including his meeting with MJF at The Iron Claw premiere, have garnered significant attention on social media.
