Speaking to Yahoo Sports, Fukuda revealed that he has turned down offers from others to acquire the group and wants to continue to protect the company.

"I want to protect All Japan Pro-Wrestling. What is the right thing to do? What is the right thing to do? We have to repeat trial and error even in a foggy situation. If we fail, we can correct it," he said.

AJPW did join the United Japan Pro-Wrestling Alliance with other Japanese organizations like NJPW, Pro Wrestling NOAH, DDT Pro Wrestling, Tokyo Joshi Pro, and more.

The company also formed a relationship with WWE bringing Charlie Dempsy to AJPW to challenge for the Triple Crown Championship.
