AJ Styles Wants WWE To Acquire A Wrestling Company In Japan

AJ Styles wants WWE to revive Japanese wrestling.

There’s no doubt that WWE is the biggest wrestling promotion in the world today. Last year, they also acquired Lucha Libre AAA. WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles believes they should do something similar in Japan.

In the latest episode of The Phenomenally Retro Podcast, Styles said the following about this idea.

“I would love WWE to find a way to be in Japan, kind of like the way AAA is. We’re not changing what they’re doing. We’re not trying to change the culture. We’re just putting our spin on it.  … It’s not them coming to WWE, but WWE has purchased a company in Japan. Now, we have Japan, we have Mexico.”

Later in the podcast, Styles says that with the help of WWE, they can revive Japanese wrestling to its previous glory.

“I don’t want them to come to Raw or SmackDown. I want them to be a WWE whatever in Japan. That’s what we need because we build our stars and just because we have stars that are Japanese doesn’t mean there can’t be some guys in Japan. We need those guys too. It’s endless things that we could do. I believe that with the help of WWE, we would be able to revive Japanese wrestling to where it was. I would love to see it back where it’s the Tokyo Dome. I’m talking about not like a WrestleMania over there, I’m just saying it’s the company selling out the Tokyo Dome like it did in the early ’90s. That’s what I would want to see.”

Elsewhere in the podcast, Styles comments on the possibility of seeing Kenny Omega in WWE. Fans can read his full comment here.
