Earlier today, Kenny Omega is reading to kids at a school. Jim Ross literally refers to Omega as the WWE Champion. Omega is reading snippets from The Young Bucks’ book and one of the kids asks if they are in love and Omega laughs. The part he reads is the part where they talk about the rivalry between Omega and Jericho at the Tokyo Dome and how business went up because of him. He starts to leave and the kids want to play with him but he says he is too busy and they can play with Nakazawa instead. The kids say they hate Nakazawa and one kicks him in the balls and the rest of the kids start stomping on him.
