In a moment that sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, Kenny Omega made his long-awaited return to the squared circle at Wrestle Dynasty 2025 in spectacular fashion. The Cleaner didn’t just bring his unparalleled in-ring prowess—he also debuted a brand new, jaw-dropping entrance theme birthed from an unlikely union of gaming and wrestling royalty.
A Symphony of Legends
In a backstage coup that could only be orchestrated by someone of Omega’s stature and connections, he enlisted an all-star team of composers from the iconic Final Fantasy video game series to craft a bespoke entrance theme befitting of his grand return.
The musical dream team was led by none other than Masayoshi Soken, the mastermind behind the scores of Final Fantasy XIV and XVI. Soken’s sweeping compositions and pulsing battle themes have become synonymous with the series’ recent resurgence.
An Unforgettable Collaboration
But Soken didn’t take on this momentous task alone. In an unprecedented team-up, he joined forces with Jason Charles Miller, the soaring voice behind FFXIV‘s acclaimed “Close in the Distance” theme, to pen Omega’s larger-than-life vocals.
As if that wasn’t enough star power, the track was elevated to mythical status by a surprise appearance from the father of Final Fantasy music himself, Nobuo Uematsu. The composer behind the franchise’s most iconic melodies lent his voice to key sections, cementing this entrance’s place in history.
I wanted something that captured my love for Final Fantasy and the excitement of this moment. Soken-san, Miller-san, Uematsu-san…they brought my vision to life in ways I couldn’t imagine.

Blurring the Lines
The union of these musical titans speaks to Omega’s unique ability to bridge the worlds of pro wrestling and video games. Through his unabashed fandom and close ties to the gaming industry, The Cleaner has spent his career blurring the lines between the ring and the digital frontier.
From his unforgettable Undertale-inspired entrance at Wrestle Kingdom 13 to his show-stealing cameo in Like A Dragon: Ishin, Omega has never been afraid to wear his gamer cred on his sleeve. But this latest crossover represents his most ambitious fusion yet, setting a new standard for the art of the wrestling entrance.
A Triumphant Return
Of course, the music was just the prelude to the main event: Omega’s first match since undergoing treatment for diverticulitis in 2024. Questions swirled as to whether the layoff would lead to any ring rust for the Best Bout Machine.
Those doubts were decisively laid to rest when the opening bell rang. In a blistering 30-minute showcase of athleticism and finesse, Omega looked like he hadn’t missed a beat, dazzling the Tokyo Dome crowd with his signature brand of impactful, innovative offense.
I made a statement tonight. Not just to New Japan, not just to AEW, but to everyone who ever doubted me. I’m back, I’m still the best in the world, and I’ve got plenty left to prove.

The Cleaner’s Next Act
With one of the most memorable returns in recent memory now in the books, the question turns to what lies ahead for Omega. Will he set his sights on reclaiming the AEW World Championship? Could a rematch with former Golden☆Lovers partner Kota Ibushi be in the cards?
Only one thing is certain: after his show-stealing turn at Wrestle Dynasty, all eyes will be glued to Kenny Omega’s next move. If his entrance music is any indication, whatever The Cleaner has planned will be nothing short of epic, blurring the boundaries of fantasy and reality in a way that only he can.
