I feel like it will, it writes itself, there's so much history to tap into. I'm torn. I get the history, I get the significance if they _actually go_ the romance route with it, and what that would mean for people. I just don't particularly like Kenny being the one standing over the entire wrestling landscape like a colossus. To me it’s just Callis bullshitting. He wants you to feel that way for the heel heat. I do think Kenny’s one of the best of his specific generation, but he’s just hamming it up here.

This reminds of the 90s, when DC and Marvel began having more crossovers.

Could it be possible Kota Ibushi having a shorter reign as NJPW World Champion than most believe he would have anything to do with Forbidden Door?
Ibushi having a program with Omega in AEW makes a lot of sense and it’s something which can connect the 2 brands some more in obvious already established long term story telling. Maybe there was some agreement between the 2 companies to insert Ibushi into AEW at this time but it was best for NJPW for Ibushi to drop the World Championship before he walks through the Forbidden Door?
What say you? Is Ibushi arriving in AEW to do a program with Omega?

But at the same time, if that were the case, you'd probably have a bigger tease for it and possibly have Ibushi lose the title in better fashion considering the potential two week quarantine that they may have to do (it's Florida so I guess it depends). Like, they did mention him on Impact and AEW but I'd rather a bone was thrown in, say, an interview beforehand then doing that.

If anything I think it’s the opposite.
My current wrestling conspiracy theory...
NJPW got tried of the Forbidden Door crap and everyone thinking Ibushi vs. Omega was going to happen. So by giving Will Ospreay the title it pretty much shuts the door in Tony’s face.

I'd say the only thing that would dampen that theory was that NJPW subscriptions went up heading towards the Moxley/KENTA match at Strong. That's not to say it couldn't be the case but it'd be weird to have those people come in from a little glimmer of crossover and then set up nothing for the long run. But the only thing that would counter THAT would be Tony is less likely to want to have Ospreay on Dynamite considering everything?

To be honest, given that the Elite are half of the reason Marty got redacted from the last few tapings, I think that AEW is probably seeing this Ospreay crap and slamming the door from their side.

Making sure to point out that he is the only man to have ever kick out of the One Winged Angel. He's showing up soon or later. I’m starting to heavily lean toward this position. I’m at about 75% we see Ibushi in an AEW program 4-6 weeks prior and leading through next AEW PPV. This whole notion Forbidden Door is closed at this time because 1 side or the other slammed it shut because of the other companies decision on who to put their most prestigious belt on or 1 side being “tired” of the arrangement I believe is a huge misreading of the room with all due respect. Ibushi showing up at AEW in 3-4 weeks? I think it happens. We shall see soon enough. EDIT: Not to mention the current perception that Ibushi doesn’t seem to have any matches planned for him for next few weeks or through the month of April inside NJPW. Now of course this could all change in a blink of an eye and I could end up totally wrong but if you currently go through NJPW advertisements of their up coming big matches on their next slew of shows the name Kota Ibushi does not appear on the cards.

Ooopes my bad. Ibushi is scheduled in late April in some tag team matches. I didn’t see these listed last night. My theory on Ibushi coming into AEW in a few weeks has been demolished. My apologies.

Until Japan lifts their quarantine restrictions like the US has been, New Japan crossover with AEW's probably not happening for a bit, though when it does, Ibushi and Okada could definitely be possibilities.
It'll just be easier for these guys to go to AEW for their block tapings and then go back to Japan for their shows without the quarantine restrictions, till then it's a waiting game for most.

I would love it if they sent over someone with Nagata to do a tag with Eddie/Mox.

They still rose their stock (especially Joey) and took care of Bea in the early outset of AEW, so they should check their glass houses
