That’s Sephiroth’s music!

The world of wrestling has loads of overlaps with video video games, particularly for wrestlers who embody sure items of gaming iconography like Kenny Omega. And final night time, the wrestler made a grand entrance at Wrestle Kingdom, to the tune of “One Winged Angel.”

At Wrestle Kingdom 17, an occasion placed on by New Japan Professional Wrestling, Omega entered the ring to Sephiroth’s tune from Ultimate Fantasy VII. Omega already has a number of ties to the silver-haired villain, together with naming his unimaginable finisher after the music. For Wrestle Kingdom, although, issues turned up a notch.

Making use of the large screens for framing, Omega arrived in full Sephiroth apparel. And in an excellent flourish, he extends his hand out with an enormous, lone wing. Add in that pinpoint flip, and it’s a fairly spectacular intro for the occasion. You’ll be able to see the entire ring entrance right here on NJPW’s social account.

Whereas the Ultimate Fantasy references could also be nothing new, it’s a spectacular entrance. It’s a little bit of a re-entrance for Omega, who’s been with All Elite Wrestling. He returned for Wrestle Kingdom 17 to problem Will Ospreay for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.

Beforehand, Omega has additionally entered the ring in full Sans cosplay, paying homage to a unique form of role-playing recreation in Undertale. Actually, “Megalovania” would most likely be on my short-list for a walk-up music if I had one.

If you happen to’d prefer to go watch the complete spectacle of Omega’s entrance, the match itself, and the remainder of Wrestle Kingdom 17, you’ll find it right here on the NJPW website. In any other case, Omega can also be wrestling in AEW, and is at present embroiled in a group feud there. As for Sephiroth, appears like he’ll be coming again too within the upcoming second installment of Sq. Enix’s Ultimate Fantasy VII remake collection, Ultimate Fantasy VII Rebirth. Perhaps he and Cloud can wrestle to carry this factor full-circle.
