Wrestling superstar Kenny Omega returned to Japan’s Wrestle Kingdom event after not appearing since 2019. And he returned in style, dressing up as famous Final Fantasy VII<\/em><\/span> villain Sephiroth and even entered walked in to the classic bad guy’s theme song, \u201cOne Winged Angel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Considered by some to be one of the best wrestlers out there, Kenny Omega, real name Tyson Smith<\/span>, has spent the past few years in America in AEW, a relatively new wrestling promotion that has become an actual competitor to the long-running WWE. But earlier today in Japan, Omega returned to Wrestle Kingdom\u2014one of the largest annual wrestling events in the country<\/span>\u2014after a three-year absence. And as with his previous appearances, he tapped into his love of video games to create one hell of an entrance<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Further adding to the Final Fantasy<\/em> connection, across big screens behind Omega was imagery connected to Sephiroth and his famous wings. The former AEW World Champion squared off against Will Ospreay for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.<\/span> (Spoilers: He won the match, which was one of the best of the night.)<\/p>\n
