Michael Oku talks AEW rumors.
Recently, Corey Brennan of Fightful Select reported that Michael Oku and Amira were close to signing with AEW and were expected to work both the Dynamite taping in Cardiff and All In at Wembley Stadium. Oku first commented on the report by stating that there has been contact made between him and Tony Khan.
In a new interview with GRAPPL, Oku was asked again about the report. In response, Oku first stated that it's very cool that those rumors exist.
“My honest thought is that it’s very cool that those rumors exist and that they can be believed. AEW is a company that I would like to work for and it’s cool that I’ve had a lot of experiences working with a lot of their talent or working close to them if you include the Jericho cruise as well.”
Oku also went on to state that nothing is confirmed between him and AEW.
“Wembley Stadium, being anybody, the chance to perform at Wembley Stadium would be a really cool thing and that’s something that I would love to tick off and do. But, at the moment, it’s something that I’m open to and nothing more, nothing that is confirmed. Of course that would be my answer if I was confirmed, because everyone lies in wrestling. [laughs] But, I’m putting it out there, that is what I’m saying, so I’ve said it.”
