Q: Forbidden portal, door, one of those two.
A: The forbidden door. It may be forbidden, but clearly the door is opening and closing and opening and closing. It’s public knowledge that some guys here, myself included, have exemptions to work New Japan Pro-Wrestling. But I know that New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s focus is New Japan and AEW’s focus is AEW.
So more likely what a partnership would look like is perhaps some sharing of talent, some shared creative, but we’re not going to do a Super Clash III where (Kerry) Von Erich and (Jerry) Lawler are fighting over the title (in 1988). Sorry, that’s a real specific angle I brought up. I’m always hesitant to combine banners versus just respecting each other’s banners. But I like how it’s referred to as the forbidden door. I don’t really think it’s forbidden at all.
Like I said, many people have the exemption to work there. They put on a great Wrestle Kingdom. They have some amazing talent, particularly Will Ospreay. He’s a top-five wrestler in the world right now. So, we’ll see where that goes. I know everyone pretty much feels the same about it.
Q: So you see it as, if anything did happen, it would be one person here or there coming across?
A: I think it’s something in the next year that we will hopefully all explore. We’ll explore on our end, they’ll explore on their end and we’ll see if it works.

Im guessing there may be something brewing..but if you think about it.. Omega going back really just inserts him back into the Main Event scene in NJPW.. he is still largely considered one of the greats over the last few years. Omega would just finish off what was planned for him?
What would be great is.. Kenny vs Osprey? avenge his Ibushi's loss from last year.. haha. but yea.. would like to see something happen between these 2 companies, but i can see the difficulties.. omega left them with a huge hole to fill and in ways, njpw had Ibushi and/or Jay White ready to take one of what is considered to be the 4 pillars of that company.
