Kenny Omega Names Xavier Woods As Dream Celebrity Boxing Opponent

AEW's Kenny Omega, currently sidelined from in-ring action, has sparked an interesting idea - a celebrity boxing match against WWE's Xavier Woods.



Omega and Woods boast a long history together. Despite playful jabs and friendly competition that transcends wrestling promotions, they've maintained a strong real-life friendship.

During a recent Twitch stream, Omega fielded questions about a potential celebrity boxing venture. "Who knows though?" he mused, "Maybe in a Triller card, somewhere in the future, I'll be celebrity boxing someone." The conversation then turned to potential opponents, with fans suggesting Xavier Woods.



"The Cleaner" seemed intrigued by the idea. "Creed (Xavier Woods)," he said, "Actually you know what? Creed, I honestly — it would be a good match. I actually think that'd be a really good match… But in an actual shoot boxing match. I think it'd be a good fight. I think it really would be. That'd be actually really good."



Omega playfully emphasized that despite their on-screen rivalry, he wouldn't want to inflict any real harm. "I wouldn't wanna hit him though," he joked. "I hate him, I don't wanna hit him. I hate his guts but I don't wanna hit the guy... I don't think he wants to hit me either. I don't think it's like that. I don't think it's like that."

Update On Kenny Omega’s Health Amid Speculation Surrounding The Timeframe On His Potential Return To The Ring

Kenny Omega, the popular AEW wrestler and Executive Vice President, is facing some hurdle in his return to the ring. Diagnosed with diverticulitis in December 2023, Omega has been sidelined for months and may now require surgery. ## While an official decision hasn't been made, reports from Dave Meltzer suggest surgery is becoming increasingly likely. Omega himself has experienced persistent pain and doctors are leaning towards this option for a full recovery and return to wrestling. ## This news comes amidst speculation about a potential feud between Omega and Kazuchika Okada, fueled by the recent inclusion of Okada in The Elite faction, previously led by Omega. However, Omega's health remains the primary concern. ## While Omega feels obligated to return to the ring, his focus now is on getting healthy. Surgery, if chosen, would involve removing affected portions of his intestine and colon, followed by an undetermined recovery period. ## “While no decision has been made, it looks more likely than not that Kenny Omega will be getting surgery on his intestines. He’s had his ups and downs but has largely been dealing with a good amount of pain for months now.## “He said surgery is becoming more and more likely as two different doctors have told him they think it’s the best option. It’s not 100 percent that he will have surgery but it’s looking more likely, particularly if he wants to get into condition to resume his career that he will probably have to get rid of the perforated sections of his intestine and colon.” ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

John Cena Ignites Speculation With Cryptic Kenny Omega Post

Despite representing rival wrestling promotions, Kenny Omega and John Cena have found common ground in mutual respect. Omega, a former AEW World Champion, recently praised Cena on his Twitch stream. ## While acknowledging they've never met, Omega commended Cena's wrestling skills and vast contributions to the industry. He specifically highlighted Cena's dedication to charity work, particularly his work with Make-A-Wish. ## Omega impressed upon his viewers that Cena's philanthropic efforts weren't for personal gain or recognition, but rather a genuine desire to make a positive impact. This praise follows Cena's recent social media post featuring an image of Kenny Omega. ## Omega is currently on the shelf (injured and unable to compete) as he recovers from diverticulitis. His in-ring return remains shrouded in mystery (the exact date is unknown). While, Cena is also missing from WWE action. He claims he hasn't received an invitation to the upcoming WrestleMania 40, but insists he's available that day (not booked for anything else). ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by John Cena (@johncena) ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Kenny Omega Praises John Cena's Impact On Wrestling; 'I’M A Very Big Proponent Of John Cena'

Despite carving their paths on opposite ends of the professional wrestling landscape – Omega thriving outside WWE and Cena holding the reins as its longtime face – Kenny Omega holds John Cena in high regard. ## During a recent Twitch stream, Omega acknowledged their contrasting careers but accepted his admiration for Cena's achievements. He commended Cena's dedication to the industry, highlighting his work ethic and genuine desire to make a positive impact. ## "He's done an incredible amount for the business," Omega said, specifically praising Cena's efforts beyond the ring, like his Make-A-Wish involvement and fan interactions. Omega views this as the true mark of a leader, someone who prioritizes the well-being of fans and the industry's future. ## "No, I have not [met Cena], but I think he’s great. Great professional wrestler. He’s done an incredible amount for the business, I don’t think anyone will be able to match anytime soon. The reason why is because Cena wasn’t doing anything for the sake of an accomplishment or trophy or recognition. People went out of their way after the fact to say, ‘look at all this stuff John is doing in his off time.’ Maybe he even laughs at it himself, but for the amount of effort he has put in to make people’s lives better, whether it be Make A Wish, fans at the arenas, or autograph signings, it’s a great example for what the face of a company should be or for the face of the industry. I’m a very big proponent of John Cena. I think he’s incredible," said Omega. Transciption via Fightful. ## While Cena hasn't competed since his loss at WWE Crown Jewel 2023, rumors swirl about a potential return at WrestleMania 40. Regardless of his in-ring future, Omega's comments solidify Cena's lasting influence on professional wrestling. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

AEW All Out 2023 Results: Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita Full Match & Winner

Chicago, 3 September - Here is the full recap for Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita which takes place on September 3, 2023, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois in a Singles match. ## The show will be live at 8 PM Eastern Time in the US on Sunday. It starts airing in Asia at 5:30 AM. In the UK and Australia, it's on at 12 AM and 9 PM, respectively. ## AEW All Out 2023: Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita Full Match Omega wore DDT-inspired gear for this match. Takeshita seemed to have the upper hand in the early stages, dropping Omega on his neck with a high-angle backdrop driver that sent Omega rolling out of the ring. Takeshita followed up with a running boot, but Omega countered with a move called "You Can't Escape" on the floor. ## Back inside the ring, Omega punted Takeshita and then executed his dunk slam, locking in the Indian Deathlock. They exchanged slaps, but Takeshita resorted to an eye poke. Takeshita managed to hit his Takeshita-line move, but when he tried for a hurricanrana, Omega blocked it and sent Takeshita face-first into the turnbuckle. They ended up back on the floor, and this time, Takeshita hit a brainbuster and brought out some chairs, but the referee scolded him.## With the referee distracted, Don Callis stacked the chairs on top of Omega. Takeshita capitalized by hitting a senton over the top onto the chairs. Takeshita taunted Omega and then landed a Helluva Kick and a Blue Thunder Bomb for a two-count. ## Takeshita continued to target Omega until Omega got his knees up when Takeshita attempted a top-rope senton. Omega then hit a jumping knee, followed by two Snap Dragons, a knee strike, and a Poison Rana for a near fall. They both escaped each other's attempts at German suplexes and traded pumping knee strikes. Takeshita turned the tide with a powerful lariat that turned Omega inside out. Omega managed to float out of a powerbomb and countered with one of his own, followed by a knee strike. ## Omega connected with a V-Trigger, but Takeshita countered Omega's One Winged Angel into a move called a "Crunchie." Omega was struggling to use his legs and started swinging wildly. He connected with enough strikes to briefly regain control, but Takeshita fought back with forearms, and Omega resorted to a desperation lariat. ## In the corner, Omega landed a leaping V-Trigger and attempted an Avalanche One Winged Angel, but Takeshita escaped and hit an impressive Avalanche Blue Thunder Bomb for a very close near fall. Takeshita then executed his Power Drive Knee move, but Omega somehow kicked out, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Takeshita exposed his knee and delivered a devastating knee strike to Omega, causing him to crumble, and Takeshita secured the pin, shocking the crowd. ## AEW All Out 2023: Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita Match Winner WINNER: Konosuke Takeshita ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
