Earlier this year, AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling’s partnership took a major step forward when they booked the first official crossover event between the two, AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door.
The crossovers between the two have continued ever since. It was previously reported that AEW would have a notable presence at Wrestle Kingdom 17.
Dave Meltzer reported on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio that AEW’s FTR, the current IWGP Tag Team Champions, are booked for that show.
Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler won the tag titles at Forbidden Door and have since defended them against teams like Aussie Open and the previous champions, Jeff Cobb and The Great-O-Khan.
The headlining match for Wrestle Kingdom is Jay White vs. Kazuchika Okada for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
