Wrestling fans know that when it comes to Xavier Woods and AEW’s Kenny Omega, the friendly trash talk never stops.
Woods, one-third of WWE’s The New Day, isn’t shy about throwing some lighthearted shade at his longtime frenemy, Omega. And in his latest chat with TV Insider’s Scott Fishman, Woods made sure to bring the heat.
When asked about his “friendship” with Omega, Woods playfully scoffed at the idea. “I think, first of all, it’s funny you say friendship with Kenny Omega. I can not stand him. He is the worst,” Woods joked, clearly turning up the sarcasm dial.
Then came the zinger that had fans cracking up: “I think Ramen Noodles needs to hit him with a lawsuit for the hair that he has been showing. It has been this bane of my existence.”
If that wasn’t enough, Woods added a touch of social media shade for good measure. “So, on social media when he does feel the need to rear his disgustingly ugly head, I’m just going to put him back down. I have to shut him down. We’re going to Bluesky now. Come on over here where we can tell some dad jokes,” he added, proving that the WWE star has no problem taking their banter to new platforms.
For those who don’t know, Woods and Omega’s playful rivalry dates back years. In one unforgettable moment, The New Day squared off against Omega and The Young Bucks in a Street Fighter showdown at E3 2018, blending their love for video games and wrestling into a viral fan-favorite spectacle.
With all this banter flying around, we’ve got to ask—do you think Xavier Woods and Kenny Omega will ever face off in the ring for real, or is their rivalry destined to live on in gaming tournaments and social media jabs? Share your thoughts below!
