Tony Khan Says He’d Be Interested In Bringing Back War Of The Worlds Concept For AEW/ROH x NJPW Shows

Tony Khan would be interested in bringing back War Of The Worlds.

Throughout the 2010s, New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring Of Honor came together and hosted many War Of The Worlds and Global Wars events. These events would allow talent from both promotions to share a ring on a big domestic stage.

As of publish time, the last War Of The Worlds event took place in May 2019. As it turns out, Tony Khan would be open to reviving the concept.

“Yeah, I’d love to do that.” Khan said while speaking to The Rocker Morning Show for a new interview. “That’s absolutely something we’re interested in. The War Of The Worlds concept, there’s definitely something to it. We’ve built something really special with Forbidden Door coming to North America and now expanding to Europe and also with AEW going over to Japan to compete at Wrestle Dynasty. We’ve got a great collaboration with New Japan, I’d love to expand it. You’re absolutely right, a few years ago, we hadn’t started working together and it’s kind of amazing how much in the past few years that AEW has been able to do in terms of collaborating with international wrestling promotions like New Japan and lucha libre in Mexico and really growing the business overseas and teaming up with the best international wrestling promotions and putting on these great matches.”
