Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Kenny Omega and Rhea Ripley.
• A recent tweet from WWE Superstar Xavier Woods sparked a quick and heated exchange with AEW wrestler Kenny Omega. Although Woods and Omega have been friendly in the past, their latest interaction hints at some possible tension.
Woods posted photos of himself and The New Day, captioned, “Pro Wrestling. Video Games. Cosplay.” This prompted a reply from Omega, who tweeted, “Still waiting for you to try that first one.”
Woods didn’t let this slide and fired back: “You haven’t seen me wrestle? Ah, you don’t have cable, that tracks. I’ll be wrestling on Netflix soon so you can watch me there. You still out from your little tummy ache?”
Omega has been sidelined for an extended period due to a severe bout of diverticulitis, which has kept him out of action.
