AEW's Kenny Omega praises John Cena as what the "face of a company should be"
AEW's Kenny Omega has praised WWE Superstar John Cena as what the 'face of a company should be'.
Speaking on his Twitch channel, Omega said that while he's never met Cena, he thinks he's "incredible" for all the positive work he's done outside the ring.
"I think he's great, a great professional wrestler," Omega said. "He's done an incredible amount for the business that 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'," Omega continued.
"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."
Omega has been regularly streaming on Twitch since being sidelined from AEW due to diverticulitis.

Announcing the news in December, Omega shared a photo from his hospital bed and wrote: "I can't really sugar coat this. I'm out indefinitely.
"I tried to keep pushing past the pain for as long as I could until it became too much. Luckily doctors caught me when they did.
"I'll be here so in the meantime, please enjoy wrestling!"
