During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed this situation. The deal between AEW and NJPW is now done despite taking so much work. There was also a lot of convincing that needed to be done to convince NJPW that AEW was legit.
“The deal is done and the two sides have a working relationship. The pandemic sped it up, but it also holds it back at the same time. You know, the only way to get Moxley was to make a deal. When AEW first started, New Japan had no clue has successful they’d be. There are a lot of things about it.”
New Japan reportedly thought that AEW were “fly by nighters” and they “big leagued them, but they were wrong.” Now NJPW and AEW have a working relationship. We’ll just have to see how far that forbidden door is opened now.
