Kenny Omega's wrestling career might be facing a tricky situation! A potential scheduling clash could impact his involvement in the highly anticipated AEW Revolution. But here's the twist: it involves a video game tournament!
Omega, who was in the running for an AEW World title match, now faces a new challenge. Sources reveal that he is committed to attending the Capcom Cup 12 event in Tokyo, Japan, from March 11 to 15. This event features 48 gamers battling it out in Street Fighter 6 for a whopping $1 million prize. Interestingly, Omega contributed motion capture work to this very game, adding a unique layer to the story.
The potential conflict arises as Omega is scheduled for meet-and-greets on March 14 and 15, possibly extending his stay in Tokyo until March 16. Revolution, the must-watch pay-per-view event, takes place on the same day, but in Los Angeles—a 10-hour flight away. This raises questions about his availability and the possibility of a last-minute change of plans.
Adding fuel to the fire, the recent Dynamite episode hinted at a future match between Omega and Swerve Strickland, after a heated encounter with Andrade El Idolo. Will this affect Omega's travel plans? Only time will tell.
And here's a fun fact: Josh Nason, a wrestling insider and contributor to Wrestling Observer, has a diverse background, including podcast hosting and writing for various sports publications. But will he predict Omega's next move? That's a story for the comments section!
