The landscape of pro wrestling underwent a change after AEW and Impact Wrestling started their working relationship. NJPW would soon join AEW as well and the relationship between the companies is certainly great.

The partnership between AEW and Impact Wrestling has truly opened the door for a variety of dream matches. The partnership might not even have happened had it not been for the current circumstances of the world according to a top AEW star.

While speaking PWI Podcast, Kenny Omega talked about AEW and NJPW’s partnership, where he stated that the partnership might not have even happened had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I think there will always be limits. There will always be lines that you cannot cross. But I believe that there is a world, right place, right time, when you can see every company working together. And I don’t necessarily mean every company. I just mean if another wanted to work with another company, I think they’d be open to the idea. And I think again, this is a terrible thing to say, one of the reasons the Forbidden Door, quote unquote, was opened with New Japan, it was partly due to what we’re all struggling with right now, which is a pandemic.”
