IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega is set to defend his IWGP Heavyweight Title against “The Ace Of NJPW” Hiroshi Tanahashi at January’s Wrestle Kingdom 13 PPV Event. Omega has been on a huge run lately as he has successfully defended his IWGP Heavyweight Title against Stars such as Penta El Zero M, Kota Ibushi & Cody Rhodes in the past couple of months. During last month’s ALL IN Event, Alicia Atout caught up with Omega for an interview and the video was just uploaded a couple of days ago.
During the interview, Omega revealed that he bonded with Cody Rhodes over the fantasy television series Trollhunters.
“I watched it on a whim”, said Omega. “Just thinking that everything that’s CG animated from either DreamWorks or Pixar is just so good all the time. And I saw that DreamWorks had done Trollhunters, and I thought, ‘This being a series, wow! This is going to be longer than a one-and-a-half hour jog, so I’m going to give this a shot’.
“I think we had like three seasons of it. It’s just so good for me, and again character development, and the way it’s animated, I love it. And Cody loves it too. So it allowed us to close the gap between one another. We became closer because of that. And for our love for animals, dogs especially.”
