AEW (All Elite Wrestling) and NJPW (New Japan Pro-Wrestling) are two prominent professional wrestling promotions with a global fanbase. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, AEW and NJPW have had some limited collaborations and working relationships. However, the specifics of their partnership may have evolved since then.
In 2019, AEW announced a partnership with NJPW, which allowed some talent exchanges between the two companies. Wrestlers like Jon Moxley (formerly Dean Ambrose in WWE) and Chris Jericho competed in NJPW events while being under contract with AEW. Similarly, NJPW stars such as Kazuchika Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi made appearances in AEW.
These partnerships benefited both promotions by allowing their talent to compete on different platforms and exposing them to wider audiences. It also fostered a sense of cross-promotion and excitement among fans of both companies.
However, the extent and duration of this collaboration have varied over time, and the specific details of any ongoing or future partnership between AEW and NJPW may have changed since my knowledge cutoff. It's recommended to consult the latest news and updates from both promotions to get accurate and up-to-date information on their working relationship.
