Kenny Omega is overrated and everyone hates him, according to 61-year-old AEW star

Kenny Omega is one of the most decorated stars in the world of professional wrestling. He has held world titles across the globe and has earned a lot of respect among his peers. However, as per a 61-year-old star, Omega is "overrated," and everyone "hates" him.

Don Callis, who has always been at loggerheads with The Best Bout Machine, recently called him out on X. Callis and Omega have been after each other in AEW for more than a year. The 61-year-old has been on a mission to destroy the legacy of the former AEW World Champion, and amid his hiatus, Don is doing just that.

Taking to X, the leader of The Don Callis Family claimed that everyone "hates" Omega and that he is "overrated" in the world of professional wrestling. He compared the former NJPW star to NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is one of the most polarizing figures in the world of sports.

"KENNY OMEGA IS THE AARON RO[D]GERS OF WRESTLING: OVERRATED AND EVERYONE HATES HIM."

Kenny Omega is reportedly set to miss AEW All Out 2025

Kenny Omega has been the cornerstone of All Elite Wrestling since its inception. However, over the past few years, the 41-year-old has struggled with health issues, forcing him to miss out on in-ring action for lengthy periods. He is now reportedly set to miss All Out 2025.

As per Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Omega is expected to be away from AEW for the rest of the year. His return date is currently slated to be January 2026.

In his most recent appearance in All Elite Wrestling, Don Callis' ally Kyle Fletcher attacked the former AEW World Champion. It was later reported that this angle was executed to write off Omega from television.
