Tony Khan: I’m Optimistic We’ll Be Able To Participate In Some Capacity On Wrestle Kingdom

Is AEW headed to Wrestle Kingdom?

Wrestle Kingdom is coming up at the begging of January and happens to fall on the same night as AEW Dynamite. Many fans would love to see some AEW stars on NJPW’s big Wrestle Kingdom event and Tony Khan was asked about this on the Full Gear post show media scrum, where he says he’s optimistic that they’ll be apart of it in some capacity.

Well, I have had conversations with them about it. I have been mindful of it when I’ve been doing all the dates and looking at everything around the Seattle show because, as you probably know, we have a AEW Dynamite event in Seattle on the night of the Tokyo Dome January 4th, then we’re in Portland on the sixth, which is pretty close to the New Japan show on the 5th. So, I do think that week would be a bit of a challenge. So, I have had good talks with them about it. As you saw, Rocky was actually here, so, I’ve had good conversations with them about that and I’m optimistic we’ll be able to participate in some capacity on Wrestle Kingdom. But, I do think a lot of the top AEW stars are gonna have to stay here. It’s important we keep all the big stars we can for AEW in Seattle.

Hopefully we can see a few AEW talent head to Japan for the huge event.
