That time I came over and cleaned out your crawl space for you? It’s because I’m EVIL!” But you can project the same Kenny Omega energy onto it. Why doesn’t this count as a 27 yr old story, because it all really starts with Christian Cage being Jungle Boy’s real father, but Omega’s “odyssey” with Page does?

And for the record, Christian Cage’s story with Jungle Boy — yeah you can say it started with the Battle Royal. Whatever. He turned on him two weeks ago. That’s where we are. It’s not fucking unique to pro-wrestling to have Christian betray his buddy. It’s fucking pro-wrestling.
That’s not quite how they’re playing it out though. He’s been explicit in that he “rode Jungle Boy’s coat-tails” to cash in easy money for as long as possible and that times up. It’s why they brought Matt Hardy into his orbit this week because he’d been doing the same thing.
