As a lifelong fan of both professional wrestling and the iconic Final Fantasy series, I can hardly contain my excitement for Kenny Omega’s new entrance theme at Wrestle Dynasty! The fact that it was composed by Masayoshi Soken, who has brought life to some of the most epic moments in Final Fantasy 14 and FF16, is a dream come true.

Having Nobuo Uematsu and Jason Charles Miller, both veterans of the Final Fantasy soundtrack, contributing to this theme just makes it even more special. I’ve always admired Omega’s creative flair when it comes to his in-ring persona, and incorporating such a rich gaming history into his character is truly inspiring.

I remember vividly watching Kenny Omega’s iconic Sephiroth-inspired entrance at Wrestle Kingdom 17, and this new theme promises to be just as memorable. It’s like a perfect fusion of two worlds I love so dearly: wrestling and video games.

And here’s a little joke for you all: I wonder if Kenny Omega will have his own Chocobo for transportation at Wrestle Dynasty! Now that would be something to see!

Kenny Omega, a wrestler from All Elite Wrestling (AEW), shared on social media that Masayoshi Soken, who composes music for Final Fantasy 14 and FF16, created his upcoming theme song, which will be unveiled at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s (NJPW) Wrestle Dynasty. Omega also mentioned that Nobuo Uematsu, a longtime composer from the Final Fantasy series, as well as musician Jason Charles Miller, collaborated on this new theme song.

Yesterday’s announcement follows the culmination of NJPW’s major event, Wrestle Kingdom 19. Both Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestle Dynasty are part of a two-day extravaganza held at the Tokyo Dome. Distinct from Wrestle Kingdom, Wrestle Dynasty is a cross-promotion pay-per-view showcasing stars from promotions like NJPW, AEW, and Ring of Honor. The event kicks off on Saturday, January 4th, at 11:00 PM Eastern Time. It can be streamed on the TrillerTV app on devices such as Roku or Amazon Fire TV Smart TVs, or through a web browser. The price to watch Wrestle Dynasty is $29.99 via TrillerTV, which grants unlimited VOD access for three months, with the access expiring on April 5th.

Before his singles match at Wrestle Dynasty against Gabe Kidd, Omega announced that he would be entering the ring to a new theme song. According to a tweet by Omega, this new entrance theme will be composed by Masayoshi Soken from Final Fantasy 14 and FF16, with longtime Final Fantasy series composer Nobuo Uematsu also contributing. The vocals for the theme are provided by Jason Charles Miller of Godhead. As a fan of video games and the Final Fantasy franchise, Omega is known for elaborate entrances in NJPW, like his iconic Sephiroth-inspired entrance at Wrestle Kingdom 17. He’s also incorporated references to Final Fantasy into his wrestling moveset, with his finishing move named after one of Uematsu’s most famous works, “One-Winged Angel.

Kenny Omega Will Have New Intro Theme Composed By Masayoshi Soken

In my gaming world, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Soken before, particularly in the expansions of Final Fantasy 14, Shadowbringers and Endwalker. I lent my voice to the tracks “Shadowbringers,” “To The Edge,” and most recently, “Close in the Distance.” Now, as I eagerly anticipate Wrestle Dynasty, I can’t wait to see what Soken and Omega have been cooking up. And let me tell you, fellow gamers, the buzz on social media is palpable with excitement for this upcoming project!

Though Uematsu has moved on from regular music composition, the new collaboration with Soken, Miller, and Omega on a Final Fantasy project is something fans should eagerly anticipate. The future may decide how significant Omega’s debut at Wrestle Dynasty will turn out to be.
