Rocky Romero provides some more insight into the working relationship between AEW and CMLL.
Earlier this month, Tony Khan made a huge announcement, as he revealed that CMLL's Místico would be competing on the October 20 edition of AEW Rampage. This was a big leap forward for All Elite Wrestling, as the promotion now has working relationships with CMLL and AAA, despite the fact that the two promotions are bitter rivals.
Rocky Romero is responsible for pushing working relationships in the world of wrestling, and as it turns out, Romero also had a hand in helping CMLL and AEW come together.
On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Romero said that AAA talent are allowed to compete on the same show as CMLL talent and vice versa. Despite this, Romero is happy that another forbidden door has been opened in the world of wrestling.
“The parameters are things like no AAA talent on the same show as CMLL talent, obviously not in the same matches as well. But yeah, I think I’m pretty much responsible for at least getting the conversation started and bringing the idea of CMLL working with AEW. In this case, primarily Mistico. I think over the past few weeks, we’ve heard quite a bit that Tony Khan was a big fan of Mistico and having him was a big deal. Just to be able to open that door for CMLL, AEW, and New Japan to hopefully do some more work together next year, I think it’s really cool. That’s another forbidden door opened.”
