Rocky Romero wants wrestling to be global.
All Elite Wrestling has yet to venture into international markets outside of the United Kingdom, the location of the All In events. Many fans fully expect the promotion to eventually run a show in Japan to benefit from their relationship with NJPW.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Rocky Romero stated that AEW has huge potential to do a duel branded event with NJPW in Japan.
"AEW obviously has huge potential to do an event, along with New Japan, in Japan. That’s an easy one that is a big one. For Forbidden Door, New Japan uses AEW’s infrastructure. If AEW was to come to Japan, it would be vice versa where they could use New Japan’s infrastructure to do a big event in a stadium or Budokan or wherever. Obviously, the UK is a massive market. We’ll see that again with Wembley this year. I do feel there is an opportunity to do some smaller arenas and more stuff around the country because they have a great infrastructure there as well with Fulham. Australia would be a great place. Mexico would be a great place now with the partnership with CMLL. Imagine AEW in Arena Mexico or having the CMLL infrastructure to help them. Strategically, that’s what these partnerships are all about, how can we help each other do these types of events all over the world? AEW is always trying to help New Japan as well. We share some of the same production people. There are a lot of Forbidden Door elements that are not just things you see in the matches."
Elsewhere in the interview, Romero talked about how he almost signed a deal with Lucha Underground. Learn more here.
