Chris Jericho says that RevPro’s Michael Oku (formerly known as The O.J.M.O.) will make his debut for All Elite Wrestling when they come to the UK. A date for AEW’s UK show has yet to be announced.
Jericho spoke about it on the latest episode of his Talk Is Jericho podcast. “The Ocho” noted that Oku would likely be booked for Dark or Dark: Elevation. He said, “You’ll be on the [UK] show for sure. I’ll guarantee you that. I’ll guarantee it. No problem at all. That’s easy. That’s easy to do. Done. Done deal.”
Oku has had past run-ins with AEW talent. He lost to Konosuke Takeshita in the first round of the PWG Battle of Los Angeles tournament on January 7th. He was also across the ring from the Jericho Appreciation Society for a ten-man tag match the following night.
While no official talks between Oku and AEW have taken place
, there are connections between the RevPro locker room and AEW. Oku remains hopeful he will attract Tony Khan’s attention.
