Great-O-Khan has a high price.
AEW and NJPW continue to build their working relationship, and their latest collaboration will be NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty, which will also feature talent from ROH, CMLL, and STARDOM. NJPW has announced that the Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) will challenge for the IWGP Tag Team Championships, which are held by HENARE and Great-O-Khan.
In an interview with Tokyo Sports, Great-O-Khan commented on the upcoming match against the Young Bucks. (Translation via DeepL)
"Yo, who the hell do you think you are, showing up out of nowhere and saying whatever you want? New Japan is having a series and AEW is intervening. You should think about the timing. After we win the championship, it would make sense to go to them directly and ask them to let us challenge them. I have no problem with facing them. It's obvious we're going to win anyway, and since we were in need of a challenger for the Dome, it's convenient for us to execute the vice president of AEW. If they come all the way to Japan and lose, I hope they invite us to join AEW. We will prove that we are the best tag team in the world right away. We can even consider a double affiliation with New Japan, since our contracts are up for renewal in January. However, unless it's at least three years and two billion [yen], that's a bit, you know, the world won't forgive us," Great-O-Khan said.
Great-O-Khan previously said that he turned down an offer from Tony Khan. Check out his comments here.
Great-O-Khan and HENARE are set to defend the IWGP Tag Team Championships against the World Tag League winners at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 19 on January 4th.
