Tony Khan talks titles.
The IWGP Global Championship will be established at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 when Will Ospreay, Jon Moxley, and David Finlay battle for the title. The title came to fruition due to Finlay smashing the IWGP United States and IWGP United Kingdom Championships.
Speaking on the ROH Final Battle media call, Tony Khan was asked if he would be open to having the IWGP Global Title defended on AEW TV.
"I'd certainly be open to having any of New Japan's great champions defending the title in AEW or ROH or any promotion. I think that's great. New Japan Pro-Wrestling has a really, really exciting roster, and they have some of the best wrestlers, and we have a really exciting opportunity, going forward, to present, what I believe, is a unified champion across the Triple Crown. With any New Japan champion, we would certainly welcome them to compete as part of the same spirit of competition and partnership with New Japan. We're excited about that news and it certainly creates another exciting opportunity in the world of pro wrestling with the great roster New Japan offers," he said.
The winner of the AEW Continental Classic will win the AEW Continental Championship, ROH Championship and NJPW Strong Openweight Championship.
