X Iconic Kenny Omega In-Ring Cosplays (And WrestlingInc’s Favorite)

Saving what we think is the best for last, and honestly, it wouldn’t be a list of best Kenny Omega cosplays without something to do with “Final Fantasy VII.” This is also the official Wrestling Inc. pick for “Most Iconic Kenny Omega Cosplay,” which of course makes it extra special.

Nearly four years after he was last seen in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Omega announced his return at the 2022 Power Struggle event, claiming that Will Ospreay couldn’t carry the burden of being the man follow in his footsteps. The match was made official for Wrestle Kingdom 17, an event that saw arguably the most eyes on a New Japan event since Omega’s bout with Jericho five years earlier, and both men went all out for their attire. After years of calling himself the “Billy Goat,” Ospreay decided to revert back to his old moniker of the “Aerial Assassin,” one that he has since kept to this day, with “Assassins Creed” inspired gear, but it was Omega’s look that stole the show.

Complete with a new entrance that had Omega be in-sync with the visual of only one wing being spread across the Tokyo Dome screen, and the sounds of the actual “One Winged Angel – Rebirth” song from the “Final Fantasy VII” remake, Omega came out as the One Winged Angel himself, Sephiroth. He had the cape, the armor plating on his shoulders, and of course, a single black wing on his back to complete the iconic look. Sephiroth is the main antagonist in “Final Fantasy VII,” which could explain why Omega not only defeated Ospreay, but wrestled with such viciousness that many fans saw it as Omega’s most “heelish” performance since his reign as the AEW World Champion in 2021.
