Cody Rhodes and Owen Hart are perhaps two of the most noteworthy inclusions. Rhodes no longer flies the flag for AEW, having returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38 earlier this year. Kenny Omega confirmed that The American Nightmare would still be a part of the game, having represented the promotion since its inception in 2019.
Owen Hart, on the other hand, having tragically passed away in 1999 when he wrestled for WWE. Hart is set to be a posthumous inclusion thanks to the promotion's partnership with the Owen Hart Foundation.
Tony Khan announced the video game as AEW: Fight Forever during Rampage tapings months ago
During Rampage tapings back in April in Pittsburgh, Tony Khan revealed the official title of his upcoming video game to be Fight Forever. The segment didn't appear on TV, however, and fans were quick to post to social media that he had let slip about the title.
Khan had asked the Pittsburgh crowd to help record audio for the game, with fans asked to perform various chants to be included. Fight Forever currently sits without an official release date. However, Fightful Select previously reported that it could be as soon as September this year.
