During a recent interview with Tokyo Sports, Chris Jericho talked about the potential expansion of AEW in Japan.
Jericho is set to return to Japan at DDT Ultimate Party 2023 on November 12, where he will go head-to-head with Konesuke Takeshita.
Jericho said, “The emphasis is on the growth of the organization itself and how much of an impact we can make. That’s why we gather the best wrestlers from all over the world. In terms of growth, we recently had 81,000 people at Wembley Stadium in London, England. I think it is natural for AEW to come to Japan, since we have our expansion outside of Japan in mind, and I think that something like an AEW raid on DDT or New Japan will happen in the future. That’s why we are strategically focusing on developing young wrestlers and showing the fans something new.”
