In a recent interview with Wrestling Observer Live, Rocky Romero discussed several topics, including the parameters of the working relationship between All Elite Wrestling and the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion in Japan, most notably due to AEW already having a working relationship with the AAA promotion in Mexico.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what happens between both companies, it seems like both companies are pretty willing to go ahead and take the next step forward, so whatever that means, I’m excited for.
The parameters are things like you know, maybe no AAA talent on the same show as CMLL talent, obviously not in the same matches as well, but yeah, I think I’m pretty much responsible for at least getting the conversation started and bringing the idea of CMLL working with AEW, and in this case, primarily Mistico.
I think that over the last couple of weeks, we’ve heard quite a bit that Tony Khan was a big fan of Mistico and having him was a big deal, so just to be able to open that door for CMLL, AEW and New Japan to hopefully do some more work together next year, I’m stoked for it, I think it’s really, really cool, that’s another forbidden door opened.”
