AEW President and CEO Tony Khan recently spoke with Dave Meltzer on a recent Wrestling Observer Radio Program on a variety of topics such as the challenges of All Elite Wrestling Stars traveling to Japan for NJPW's Wrestling Kingdom 17 Event.
Tony Khan said:
“One challenge this year that we’ll have to keep an eye on is the Tokyo Dome is on a Wednesday. That hurts you on Friday because you can keep Wednesday strong but you lose four big stars and that can hurt you on Friday. I really want to rebuild Friday. I’m not thrilled about it, but I’m gonna do my best to support them because they are our partner, but I also can’t send everyone over there. If it was the weekend, I’d send the house because that’s the kind of partners we are. It’s a really great relationship because we already have gotten to talk about that, but we have to do Dynamite and a good chance that maybe Rampage will be taped that day.”
All Elite Wrestling has had a strong working relationship with NJPW since 2019 and they recently held their joint Forbidden Door PPV Event.
