Kenny Omega is one of the most popular wrestlers that doesn’t work for WWE, and the company recently acknowledged him without hesitation. As Kenny Omega fans know, he loves Street Fighter, and he recently showed off his skills on Twitter while talking a little trash about Xavier Woods.
Love winding down with some of my own sick #SFV clips. The patience, the intelligence, the clutch. I work hard to wax my super diamonds. You think you can compete with a technician like this, @XavierWoodsPhD ?!?! Absolute mastery – it’s no wonder I beat Tokido. pic.twitter.com/yElx18xrjq

Xavier Woods was happy to respond, and he challenged Omega to pick a place and time where they can settle their issues.
Patience, intelligence, clutch?! A @StreetFighter technician?!? Kenneth what are you talking about?!? You literally just held V-Trigger to win this🙄 Im beyond tired of your empty gloating! How about this, I get on a plane, you do the same, meet me somewhere so we can end this 😡 https://t.co/5clTgtn2R9
