Maki Itoh is big in Japan as apart of TJPW. She then started to make her way to the United States and in 2021, she made her debut in AEW. Since then, Maki has made several appearances in AEW and has been drawn to more fans with her unique style and epic entrance concert. Recently, Itoh sat down with Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo who asked, given her popularity, has she had any offers from WWE.
No, nothing. The reason she became this popular is thanks to AEW. Whatever happens, even if WWE gives her a cheeky offer from nowhere, she would not accept it and she would stay right beside AEW all the way,

When asked about her goals in 2023, A AEW return is on the mind.
In Japan, she wants to get a title belt, obviously. She feels maybe a tag team title belt would be really nice, just about now. Where for America, she wants to go back to being on AEW television again. As you know, there is only so much time available on American TV and you can’t really leave much of an impact due to how much time you get to be on TV. She definitely wants to leave a big enough impact to where everyone will remember the name of Maki Itoh.
