For context that Tony Kahn tweet came after the big AEW ratingsl so it may not even be related to this. But wherever he goes, this is disastrous for njpw.

My out there prediction: TKO buys out Bushiroad.

WWE already found out how hard it is for a foreign entity to buy a Japanese company when they tried to buy Noah and Stardom. If any company would take the wrestling promotions from Bushiroad then it would probably be Cyberagent in which case I'd want to know how robust Japanese antitrust laws are.

Aew, after covid is the worst thing to ever happen to njpw. Now I get to watch Stardom follow the same path of surrendering their dignity to Tony Kahn. Just great

NJPW is likely very happy that AEW frequently lends them their talents, thinks it's good business to have Moxley do a bunch of shows in Japan, and is relieved that TK is footing the bill for the top stars who they can't afford anymore by signing them (I'd imagine Ospreay and Okada will still do Wrestle Kingdom once in a while).

Then njpw is stupid.

Is AEW ever gonna let one of their many useless titles go to a wrestler in another promotion for once? Or is everyone just gonna let Tony book title defenses of their titles on this tv shows for "exposure" that don't mean anything because he has a million useless titles already.

Moxley is no shape or form a NJPW wrestler, he's 100% AEW. No better way to reinforce that you're a second rate promotion than after a promotion takes your top guy after they already took your top 2 foreign guys than putting your top belt on another AEW talent. Pretty much an AEW farm promotion right now.

I'm sure I'll be seething more in a couple of months when somehow a Stardom title finds it's way on an AEW wrestler.

IWGP title match on less than a weeks notice against a random dude. Get that belt out of AEW before Tony devalues it any further.

Because Tony wants to promote it as one and Rocky said it was OK.

In fairness, Mox's unit (the Blackpool Combat Club) is technically feuding with the one Hobbs is in (Don Callis' crew) as an extension of Danielson vs Ospreay (Will's in that heel group despite everyone basically counting the seconds until they turn on him), so the match itself makes sense.

IWGP title matches shouldn't feel like an add on.

They could do that when Moxley isn't the IWGP champ.
