Kenny Omega has been tied to Street Fighter-related media work, including motion capture for Street Fighter 6 and related DLC promotions, with multiple outlets noting his involvement and public comments about the project. This crossover has been covered in wrestling-focused outlets and gaming media since 2025, highlighting Omega’s mocap session and his posts about the project.
In AEW context, Omega’s activity has been affected by storylines and injuries, with coverage noting his hiatus and return timelines as of early 2026. These reports place the Street Fighter project alongside his ongoing wrestling commitments, indicating a period of limited in-ring appearances while handling both domains.
Related discussion in wrestling media has described how Omega’s Street Fighter role came about (including a miscommunication that led to the mocap opportunity and subsequent involvement in trailers and showcases), underscoring the crossover nature of his work between sport and gaming media.
