Summary
AlthoughMultiVersusis home to many characters spread through WB-owned properties, fans of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) took to social media to request that “The Cleaner” Kenny Omega be added to the game in a future update. In response, the request fromMultiVersusplayers was met with positive reaffirmation from other fans.
InMultiVersus, various characters from DC Comics and television shows like HBO’s Game of Thrones and Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time are pitted against each other in a fighting game inspired by the Super Smash Bros. series. WhileMultiVersus' repertoire of characters that could come into the game may be limited to characters owned or licensed by WB, that has not stopped real-world figures such as NBA star LeBron James from being added asplayable characters inMultiVersus. In the case of LeBron James, his appearance inMultiVersusis based on his role in the 2021 filmSpace Jam: A New Legacy.
With athletes and superheroes already inMultiVersus, players have taken to the idea of a beloved professional wrestler joining the fray. A Reddit user named cartoons01 posted their request on the r/AEWFightForever subreddit and posited the idea of Kenny Omega being aMultiVersuscharacter with other fans. In their post, cartoons01 took a screenshot fromAEW Fight Foreverof “The Cleaner” coming to the ring for a match and then shared theMultiVersuskey art to prove their point. While Omega has appeared inAEW Fight Forever, he is also known for his cameo as aLegendary Trooper Card inLike A Dragon: Ishinalongside other celebrities and content creators.
AEW Fans Want Kenny Omega Added to WB’s MultiVersus
In addition to his appearance inLike A Dragon: Ishin, Omega is also a fan of video games and popular culture. Omega has integrated his passion for games into his moves and wrestling attire, which made him an AEW fan-favorite. Omega’s signature finishing move, the One-Winged Angel, is a nod to the iconic final boss theme fromFinal Fantasy 7. At the New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) event Wrestle Kingdom 17, Omega took to the ring dressed in an outfit inspired by Sephiroth, with his entrance theme being “One-Winged Angel: Rebirth” fromFinal Fantasy 7 Remake.
Since WB owns the networks that broadcast AEW’s weekly shows in the US, the request from cartoons01 is plausible. While leaks andrumors aboutMultiVersus' future character additionshave made the rounds, only time will tell if their wish for Kenny Omega to be added will be granted.
