Summary
WWE 2K24fans discovered that AEW star Kenny Omega’s entrance is available for use in the game.WWE 2K24allows players to create their own wrestlers, oftentimes recreating wrestlers from other promotions using the preset moves and entrances available.
Entrances are important to establish a wrestler’s personality and gimmick before the match even starts. One of the most recognizable entrances today is from The Bloodline, which sees the heel stable walking slowly towards the ring and raising their pointer fingers in acknowledgment of their Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.WWE 2K24fans can recreate this entranceand many other iconic entrances for their original characters.
In a surprise twist, one of the presetentrances available inWWE 2K24is “The Cleaner,” which is AEW star Kenny Omega’s entrance. In a clip by Twitter user RyuFromStreetss, they show AJ Styles doing Omega’s signature finger-gun pose upon coming out and when he reaches the middle of the ring. Many otherWWE 2K24fans have also shared their own clips of their favorite wrestlers with The Cleaner entrance.
Is Kenny Omega in WWE 2K24?
ManyWWE 2K24fans were pleasantly surprised, but also confused that the game included an active AEW star’s entrance. Some also believe that this might be a hint that Omega would be signing to the WWE, even though there’s no news that the wrestler was leaving AEW. Currently, Omega is out of action in AEW because he’s recovering from diverticulitis, an inflammation or infection in the digestive tract.
Omega isn’t part ofWWE 2K24’s roster, but it’s highly likely that players will use Create-a-Wrestler and other mods to bring him to the game, especially now that The Cleaner entrance can be used. The Cleaner is one of Omega’s monikers that was coined during his stint in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), which references a person who cleans up crimes. Meanwhile, his former AEW colleagues,CM Punk and Jade Cargill will beWWE 2K24DLC characters, while also being featured stars inAEW Fight Forever.
This isn’t the first time aWWE 2Kgame has added preset entrances referencing wrestlers who are not signed with WWE, asWWE 2K22featured a number of entrances based on AEW’s Britt Baker, Kris Statlander, and Brian Cage. This practice is normal because there are no licenses or copyrights for entrances, including the unique gestures that wrestlers do while walking from backstage to the ring.WWE 2K24’s The Cleaner entrance, along with other non-WWE entrances, can just be treated as a nice Easter egg and subtle shoutout to the amazing wrestlers outside the company.
