I'm not a pro wrestler, but how many times have we heard them talk about 'having their WrestleMania moment' at one point or another? Superstars who were fans growing up always talk about it - Bayley, Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Zack Ryder and The Miz have already mentioned.

Ryder had his 'moment' when he won a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 32. The Miz's moment thus far was beating John Cena at 'Mania. Rollins now has two moments in cashing in Money in the Bank and winning the WWE and Universal Championships.

While some wrestlers just have the goal of getting to WWE, most also have the goal of having a moment of their own at the Show of Shows. Kofi Kingston finally got his this year after beating Daniel Bryan, and Bryan had his moment at WrestleMania 30.

I think any wrestler may be lying if they say they wouldn't love to have a big moment of their own at 'Mania, and Omega may likely miss out on his. It won't define his career or lessen his accomplishments, it just means that he won't have a moment like that from WWE to look back on. He might be content with the moments he created in NJPW, but WrestleMania is the biggest stage in sports entertainment.
