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.

In a gesture of acknowledgment, Cena took to his Instagram account to post an image of Kenny Omega, signaling mutual respect and admiration between the two wrestlers.

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.
