Yota Tsuji On NJPW-AEW Working Relationship: With The Relationship Between Us The Way It Is, I’d Like Us To Cut Ties With Them

Yota Tsuji comments on NJPW and AEW’s working relationship noting that he would like NJPW to cut its ties with AEW.

Over the past few years, NJPW and AEW have worked together in a professional capacity, including with major Forbidden Door events over the past few years and exchanging of talent. However, one NJPW talent is hoping that the relationship ends sooner rather than later.

While speaking to NJPW in a new interview, Yota Tsuji was asked about AEW and NJPW’s working relationship, noting that he’d like to see the companies cut ties with each other.

“Well, I don’t want to lose to AEW. I don’t like AEW. In all honesty, with the relationship between us the way it is, I’d like us to cut ties with them.”

Yota continued, going further into the partnership.

“What has being with AEW done for NJPW, really? If it was an even handed relationship that’s one thing, but it’s not. There’s certainly a difference in terms of the money behind each company, but I don’t see that as a reason to be so weak willed. This is NJPW, dammit. Now on the other hand, Kazuchika Okada has played a part in selling the Tokyo Dome out. I have to admit to that. I’m sore that it isn’t an NJPW wrestler facing Tanahashi in his last match, but there isn’t anybody on the roster that has the connections to Tanahashi that Okada has, and I have to acknowledge that. “

Yota previously noted that he didn’t believe AEW had respect for the IWGP. You can read more about that here.
