During a recent interview with Tokyo Sports, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Superstar Kenny Omega commented on NJPW’s practice of not bringing women’s wrestling into their product. He said he thinks New Japan should focus more on a women’s division these days. He said,
“What I think that New Japan is lacking these days is that girls can’t be part of the game. At the CEOxNJPW event that I participated in last year, I proposed to New Japan to put up a girls match. After all it was refused, because, ‘It’s New Japan’. It is 2019 now. I think that women and men should be on the same stage, and most of the women who I think are good are in Japan.”
Omega then suggested Aja Kong and Yuka Sakazaki for AEW’s Double Or Nothing show, and has been in conversation with freelancers such as Ryo Mizunami of Pro Wrestling WAVE. He said,
“For example Ryo Mizunami is a wonderful wrestler. I’m not only talking with DDT and OZ (Academy) but also with WAVE and Gatoh Move. I’m also talking to freelancers. I also want to talk to various organizations.”
