Kenny Omega Says He's Leaving Japan, Omega Terminator Entrance (Video), NJPW Fantastica Mania Cards
- As seen above, Kenny Omega's Wrestle Kingdom 11 entrance included a scene from The Terminator, this video was shown to the audience just before he showed up on the ramp with a half-Terminator mask and a sawed-off shotgun. Omega wrestled (and lost) in the main event against Kazuchika Okada.
- Omega also tweeted out that he will be stepping away from Japan to "reassess" his future. He followed that up saying his schedule is clear and will be weighing all options.
I will be stepping away from Japan to reassess my future. The path of my journey may change, but my goals will not. pic.twitter.com/E4vDiGgAwe

@KennyOmegamanX there is no plan. My schedule is cleared and I'm weighing all options. I've a lot to consider. Thx for the patience/support
