Where Are They Now? - EVERY Wrestler On The FIRST EVER AEW Dynamite

7. Michael Nakazawa

The Elite
AEW

Michael Nakazawa was always in All Elite Wrestling to be Kenny Omega's goober-in-peril, and it's there he's remained since first getting battered by Nyla Rose on Night One.

Turning heel alongside 'The Cleaner' and turning up the bullsh*t in the process, Nakazawa has his moments, but he's not been remotely missed as Omega's second for the duration of the former Champion's long injury layoff.
