RGG Summit 2022 was held yesterday, and on top of Like a Dragon 8 and Like a Dragon: Ishin’s reveals, AEW’s Kenny Omega may have also teased his arrival into the franchise. Via an Instagram post, All Elite Wrestling’s very own Best Bout Machine was shown at RGG Studio, having a character model made of him.
While nothing is confirmed in Like a Dragon 8 or Kenny Omega’s appearance in it, he would not be the first professional wrestler to make a real-life appearance in the beloved franchise.

While officially in the country to help promote AEW Fight Forever at Tokyo Game Show, the professional wrestler appears to have had quite a busy schedule. Between catching up with his tag partner in the Golden Lovers, Kota Ibushi, and heading to TGS 2022, Kenny Omega also went to RGG Studios to take a tour.
As a part of this tour, a version of him was reportedly scanned and created, perhaps for a future game, such as Like a Dragon 8. Precious little is known about Like a Dragon 8 at this time. Seeing a professional wrestler like Kenny Omega in the game would not be surprising.
In Yakuza 6, 6 of the current NJPW roster members took part in the game as antagonists in the Clan Creator system. Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tetsuya Naito, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima, and Toru Yano were all featured in the game. As members of a group known as JUSTIS, they played fictional versions of themselves.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 also featured several Japanese professional wrestling legends in the form of Keiji Mutoh, Masahiro Chono, Tatsumi Fujinami, Riki Choshu, and Genichiro Tenryu. With these two things in mind, it would be incredible, but not shocking, to see Kenny Omega participating in an RGG Studios game.
