Kenny Omega reacts to Jade Cargill using his finisher at WWE WrestleMania 42
Kenny Omega has acknowledged Jade Cargill using his One Winged Angel at WWE WrestleMania 42.
On Sunday, Rhea Ripley faced and defeated Jade Cargill to win the WWE Women’s title. Toward the later stages of the match, Cargill busted out Omega’s finisher with commentary saying it was called the Sandstorm.
Ripley kicked out of the move and the moment soon went viral on social media, soon becoming tribal.
However, Omega reacted to Cargill’s move Monday on X and was positive about it without directly mentioning Cargill or WWE by name:
“When I see the moves I do elsewhere, I only take it as a compliment. If somehow I inspired people to use them, I can only be grateful. Besides, seeing the OWA on the WM ring was kinda neat, right? It’s all good with me.”
Cargill parted ways with AEW in September 2023 and signed with WWE, debuting at January 2024’s Royal Rumble.
