Promotions are coming together throughout the summer with NJPW at the center of things as they'll be working with AEW, IMPACT, AJPW, and Pro Wrestling NOAH for major events throughout the summer.
Aaron Henare is a big part of United Empire, one of the top groups in NJPW and the house of Will Ospreay, Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis), Jeff Cobb, Great-O-Khan, and more.
Speaking to Matt on the Shining Wizards podcast, Henare revealed that he won't be part of Forbidden Door 2 on June 25.
"With all of those [Forbidden Door, All In, All Together Again], especially all the events around the world, it's a wrestlers market right now. All the fans have been locked down with the same people in every different area for the last three years. There is a demand for wrestlers reaching out and going everywhere. Although, there is one thing more important to me in June than Forbidden Door, I've actually requested to not be in Japan or American for that one, I'll be going back to New Zealand for something quite special. I won't spoil it yet," he said. "It probably doesn't mean much to anyone outside of New Zealand. The WWE fans who are following Roman (Reigns) and the Usos right now will probably understand it. It's important. It's going to make life hell in Japan, but it's important."
Henare added, "If they need me for Forbidden Door, I'm going to be asking for a big fat guarantee to leave New Zealand. All Out and All Together, I'd definitely love to be part of those."
Henare noted that he would like to wrestle Miro or Cesaro at AEW All In.
NJPW's involvement at AEW All In has not been confirmed. NJPW, AJPW, and Pro Wrestling NOAH All Together Again is scheduled for June 9.
