Do you want to do all this? Do you want to do the Nagata/Mox thing? Is there a future in this whole thing? I have a very good relationship with New Japan.
In particular with Romero, whom I would defend as a human being. He has become the intermediary between Gedo and myself, and we’ve built.
A really helpful trust between the three of us. I have all the respect in the world for Gedo and Rocky. I called him up and said what’s up? He said.
‘No, we’re with you. There’s nothing to do. We want to do this with you, and this is how we’re going to do it.'” “The thing was already in the press.
It was Wednesday, so I thought I should probably do a promo to get some noise for Dynamite because that night there was a time slot change.
It was during the playoffs, so it aired at a different time. I wanted to get some publicity. So we did it before it aired, and it definitely got people talking.
Because it’s been a year and a half, and it’s being talked about. But it was also kind of true,” Khan continued. “It was a promotion for my own show.
But I was also saying that if you read on the internet that New Japan is not working with AEW, that they are going to work with WWE, that is not true.
Because AEW and New Japan have a very strong relationship. Here is the reason. So I explained it. I had heard that Nick had called them and that’s why I did it”.
Tony Khan also admitted to talking to Nick Khan, although he doesn’t know him personally. “Yes. I have spoken to him. Not in person.
