Summary

Kenny Omega has no issue with Jade Cargill using the One Winged Angel during her WrestleMania 42 match with Rhea Ripley.

The spot quickly became a talking point because Ripley kicked out, adding another layer to a title match that was already drawing heavy discussion after WrestleMania weekend. Omega later addressed the moment on social media and made it clear he saw it as a compliment rather than a slight.

Social media

Omega said he appreciates seeing wrestlers use moves he helped make famous and described it as cool to see the One Winged Angel used on a WrestleMania stage.

That reaction added a calmer note to a moment that had already stayed in the conversation after Ripley praised Cargill's WrestleMania 42 performance.

What Omega's response means after WrestleMania 42

Omega's comments take some of the heat out of the debate around the spot itself, because the wrestler most closely tied to the move publicly treated it as respect. That matters when fans are debating whether a protected finisher should have been kicked out of on WWE's biggest stage.

It also shows how much the moment stood out beyond the match result. Cargill and Ripley already had one of the weekend's more discussed title bouts, and Omega's reaction gave the finish its own afterlife once the show was over.
