During the post-AEW All Out 2023 media scrum, AEW President Tony Khan commented on the upcoming WrestleDream pay-per-view event and how the concept for the show came about.
As we previously reported here on eWn, the show will be taking place on the one-year anniversary of the death of Antonio Inoki. “TK” said,
“I’m very excited for WrestleDream. We’re about a month out for WrestleDream right now. We haven’t had a chance to ever really, since I introduced the event or talked about it for the first time, we haven’t really had a chance, as a collective, to talk about the event. But it means a lot to me personally. Last year, when Antonio Inoki passed away, I was in a hotel room, as I often am, and on the road. I remember thinking to myself, ‘Mark this date down and start planning ahead and start thinking ahead.’ I talked to New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and they were supportive, and they’re going to be sending stars to participate in the event. I think it’s really cool.”
