In an interview with Cameron Hawkins for Uncrowned, Daniel Garcia discussed re-signing with AEW. In addition to feeling like he had more to accomplish and being excited about the talent around him, Garcia named being able to compete for NJPW and other companies appealed to him as well.

"A big part of the reason why I love AEW is that we can go do other things. I can go do indies if I want. We have those relationships with New Japan Pro Wrestling, CMLL, to where I can still get experience other places. I feel like New Japan Pro Wrestling was always my dream when I first started being a wrestler. That's something I always wanted to accomplish. I wouldn't feel full in my wrestling career until I get to have a little stint there. I feel like keeping those doors open [was] very important to me," Garcia said.
