AEW/Yuke’sWhile AEW’s upcoming game, AEW Fight Forever, may have gotten its title, there seems to be trouble in paradise as Kenny Omega seemingly isn’t getting along with Yuke’s.
AEW has been determined to make it’s brand a direct competitor to the behemoth that is the WWE since the Jacksonville wrestling brand was founded in January 2019.
The wrestling promotion has been active; its popularity has steadily risen. To capitalize on its ascension, AEW announced in 2018 that they would be working with Yuke’s to create their own wrestling video game now titled Fight Forever.
But there seems to be trouble in paradise as one of AEW’s most famous figures is at odds with the legendary development company.
