AEW: Fight Forever exploding barbed wire deathmatch revealed
get ready for the exploding barbed wire deathmatch!
All Elite Wrestling shared some brand new gameplay of the exploding barbed wire deathmatch in AEW: Fight Forever.
The short clip blends real-life footage with gameplay of the infamous match between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega. Though fans view the real match between the two as a dud, the video game recreation depicts more brutal action. With barbed wire all over the ring, Moxley and Omega send each other crashing into intense explosions.
In the gameplay, each explosion looks devastating as clouds of fire engulf the wrestlers with each blow. With blood all over the wrestlers and the arena, AEW: Fight Forever doesn’t seem to pull the same punches that the real match pulled. However, for those who still find the match’s actual dud ending hilarious, the game does include an Easter Egg that allows for the humorous sparkler finish.
