Kenny Omega responds to Women’s Division criticism
“Lately, most “criticisms” I read are incredibly ignorant,” he responded to one fan who specifically asked about them as a whole. “Depressing the number of fans that have absolutely no class. That being said, I do try to sift through those to get to the actual constructive criticism.”
In response to another fan who said they felt like AEW failed to make their women’s division mean something last year, Kenny replied: “We’ve had fantastic performances from our women that had our arenas shaking. Literally the loudest reactions on the show at times. Where was the failure? What were you hoping to see?”
