So technically, this is a kind of follow-up story to one we did earlier in the month. It all started when the ONE Flyweight Champion, Demetrious Johnson, was doing an interview, and he admitted that he was a gamer and loved Street Fighter 6. But when that happened, a certain “rival” from another company was brought up, none other than Kenny Omega from All Elite Wrestling. He is not only a gamer but is famous for his love of Capcom’s franchise, has helped promote it in the past via a live-action trailer, and is known for his intense skills with the game.
Johnson didn’t take too kindly to people saying that Omega was better than him, so he threw out a challenge for October 1st, which was the date of a PPV that Omega would be at called Wrestledream. Kenny agreed to the match and appreciated that the proceeds would go to charity. Which is something we should all appreciate.
Fast forward to now, and the official fight venue and time have been made. It won’t happen on October 1st, likely because of Omega’s match at the AEW PPV, but instead on October 3rd. It’ll be carried out via Pit Crew, and you’ll be able to stream it live on Twitch to see all the epic action go down.
What a swell guy. Organizing his own demise and all for charity!
Tune in and win, lose, or draw, it’s all for a good cause!

Heck, Kenny Omega once did a challenge like this against WWE Superstar Xavier Woods, who is an epic gamer himself and defeated him. So Kenny isn’t going to go down easily, especially since he’s currently Master Rank in the latest entry in the series.
And no
