Rocky Romero Reveals He Has Signed a New Deal With NJPW

Rocky Romero is sticking with NJPW, announcing that he has signed a new deal with the company. Romero has a number of roles across wrestling companies as he coordinates between AEW, NJPW, and CMLL while also working as an on-screen talent. He revealed in a recent appearance on Wrestling Observer Live that he re-signed with New Japan and should be back there soon.

“I just re-signed with New Japan,” Romero said (courtesy of Fightful). “I’m still working at CMLL. I took a little break. Going back and forth was killing me a little bit. I took a little break, but I should be back in the next couple of months.”

Romero last competed in AEW on the January 28th episode of AEW Dynamite, where he lost to Kenny Omega. He is part of the Don Callis Family in AEW. His last match for NJPW came on January 5th at New Year Dash, where he teamed with Konosuke Takeshita and proved victorious against El Phantasmo & Shoma Kato. He is not currently advertised for NJPW The New Beginning USA.

Romero has been part of NJPW since 2010. He works behind the scenes for AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and CMLL in various capacities.
