WWE Hall of Famer has reminded fans that he was a wrestling God long before Kenny Omega.
Omega has been referred to as a God of Pro Wrestling for years due to his impressive matches both in and outside of AEW.
When a fan called out JBL, saying he stole Omega’s nickname to give to Baron Corbin, the former WWE Champion was happy to give them a history lesson.
Hard to steal my own name. Realized I was a Wrestling God in a backstage segment with the Cabinet almost 20 years ago. https://t.co/sXDJ5fV2Eu

JBL recently returned to WWE programming as Corbin’s manager, a role he has been expressing interest in for quite some time.
Omega is currently serving a suspension from AEW due to his role in the All Out fight but his return (alongside the Young Bucks) has been teased in recent weeks.
