Tony Khan Believes AEW Talent Will Be Part Of NJPW G1 Climax 36
NJPW will bring the G1 Climax tournament back to America in 2026, with G1 Climax 36 night one being held at the NOW Arena in Chicago on July 11.
Appearing on Battleground with Tim & Battle, AEW President Tony Khan was asked if AEW will be involved with the event.
“New Japan may come to me to book wrestlers into the tournament, but how they handle their business is completely New Japan’s prerogative. We may work together. I think there could potentially be involvement from AEW wrestlers. I believe there will be, based on our early talks. I’m excited about the G1 coming this summer to America,” he said.
Konosuke Takeshita, who is signed to AEW, NJPW, and DDT, won the G1 Climax 35 tournament in 2025.
