Rocky Romero Explains Relationship With AEW, CMLL and AAA

In an interview with Wrestling Observer Live (via Fightful, Rocky Romero explained how AEW could have a working relationship with CMLL when they also have one with AAA. AAA and CMLL have a notoriously acrimonious relationship. AEW had been working with AAA, but recently had a match with CMLL wrestler Mistico.

Romero said: “The parameters are things like no AAA talent on the same show as CMLL talent, obviously not in the same matches as well. But yeah, I think I’m pretty much responsible for at least getting the conversation started and bringing the idea of CMLL working with AEW. In this case, primarily Mistico. I think over the past few weeks, we’ve heard quite a bit that Tony Khan was a big fan of Mistico and having him was a big deal. Just to be able to open that door for CMLL, AEW, and New Japan to hopefully do some more work together next year, I think it’s really cool. That’s another forbidden door opened.”
