AEW President Tony Khan has confirmed that a number of NJPW stars will make appearances on tonight’s (June 22) edition of Dynamite.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Tony Khan confirmed that more matches will be announced for Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view on tonight’s show.
Stating that NJPW will be heavily featured on Dynamite, Khan said:
“It’s going to start the IWGP Champion Jay White coming in tonight and we’re going to find out who he is going to wrestle. We’re going to announce more matches tonight on Dynamite for this big event,” he said. “Sometimes, if you open your mind, just checking out these different wrestlers, you’re going to see there are so many top stars there, whether they are from Japan or other countries.
“Just a lot of great wrestling stars and wrestlers in New Japan. For us going forward, we’re going to have new talent coming into AEW, too. There’s been a lot of challenges in planning and injuries on our side, also logistics. Some of the top stars in new Japan have not been here yet.
“Tonight on Dynamite, you will see more wrestlers and more involvement from New Japan than we’ve seen so far. We’ll see more of them and some of the stars we haven’t seen yet.”
A recent report indicated that Zack Sabre Jr could be one of the NJPW stars set to make his AEW debut, following him issuing a challenge to Bryan Danielson for Forbidden Door. There has been some uncertainty surrounding Danielson’s status, but the Blackpool Combat Club star is slated to speak on Dynamite.
Several championship matches have already been announced for the crossover show, including bouts for the AEW All-Atlantic Title, IWGP US Title and AEW Interim World Championship.
