AEW: Fight Forever — every confirmed wrestler in the game

A wrestling video game is only as good as its roster, and that rings true for the upcoming AEW: Fight Forever. This game is still in development under Japanese studio Yuke’s, so its roster isn’t finalized yet. The promotion itself is home to over 130 wrestlers, but don’t expect them all to make an appearance in Fight Forever.

Still, the game currently has a lengthy list of confirmed wrestlers, with many more on the way. Here, we’ll go through the roster list for the upcoming AEW: Fight Forever.

Confirmed roster so far

So far, the roster is slim, but considering the game is still in development, it’s not too alarming to see an unfinished list of wrestlers at this stage.

Below is the confirmed list of wrestlers that’ll appear in the game.

  • Chris Jericho
  • Kenny Omega
  • Hikaru Shida
  • Matt Jackson
  • Nick Jackson
  • Darby Allin
  • Jungle Boy
  • Nyla Rose
  • Kris Statlander
  • Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.
  • CM Punk
  • Jon Moxley
  • “Hangman” Adam Page
  • Jade Cargill
  • Abadon
  • Yuka Sakazaki
  • Adam Cole
  • Paul Wight
  • Thunder Rosa
  • Pentagon
  • Owen Hart
  • Cody Rhodes

Of course, the list will likely grow over time and may even expand after launch. It’s unlikely AEW and THQ Nordic will make this an annualized franchise, so it’s possible Yuke’s will support the game with DLC wrestlers after launch.

This game will mark the first time Owen Hart will appear in a video game since 2004’s Showdown: Legends of Wrestling. It’s also fascinating that Cody Rhodes will be included since he left AEW for WWE earlier in 2022.

Unconfirmed wrestlers

Many of the promotion’s top talent has not been confirmed for Fight Forever. While these wrestlers could be announced for the game in the future, you shouldn’t count on all of them being featured.

Recently, it was confirmed that Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler of the FTR tag team will not be included in the game on day one. Given the tag team’s prominence in the company, this could set a precedent of the game excluding top talent, even wrestlers who might be fan favorites.

Below is a list of top AEW wrestlers who have not been confirmed for Fight Forever.

  • Bryan Danielson
  • Andrade El Idolo
  • Sting
  • Ruby Soho
  • Claudio Castagnoli
  • Swerve Strickland
  • Jeff Hardy
  • Keith Lee
  • Kyle O’Reilly
  • Buddy Matthews
  • Samoa Joe
  • Toni Storm
  • William Regal
  • Dante Martin
  • MJF
  • Eddie Kingston
  • Wardlow
  • Daniel Garcia
  • Matt Hardy
  • Malakai Black
  • Miro
  • Orange Cassidy

It’s highly likely the game will include wrestlers such as Bryan Danielson, Wardlow, and MJF, but at this point, they haven’t been confirmed. Given how so many top wrestlers have yet to be announced for the game, we’re worried Fight Forever will feel empty when it launches. Nonetheless, we look forward to more roster announcements.

Modern Warfare 4 brings Call of Duty back to its glory days. I hope the streak lives.
Infinity Ward’s latest campaign goes back to Call of Duty’s roots and recaptures what made me a fan more than a decade ago.

The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.

After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.

Epic MegaJam 2026

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
