According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, there are ongoing discussions about "a couple of" AEW stars potentially participating in this year's prestigious NJPW G1 Climax tournament.
Meltzer also mentioned that Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, and Bryan Danielson have already filmed advertisements for the opening night of this year's tournament. Omega won the G1 Climax in 2016 and was the runner-up the following year, while Ospreay finished as runner-up in 2022. However, Meltzer did not specifically confirm whether these three will compete in the tournament.
Last year, AEW’s Konosuke Takeshita won the G1 Climax by defeating EVIL in the final. It will be interesting to see which AEW wrestlers participate in NJPW’s premier tournament this time around.
