New Japan Pro Wrestling legend Yuji Nagata made his AEW debut just over a week ago. Blue Justice faced Jon Moxley in a match for the IWGP United States Championship.
This signals yet another time that a belt from an outside promotion has been defended on AEW Dynamite.
It was recently reported by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Nagata was interested in a return to AEW and he was extremely happy with how he was treated.
Yuji Nagata To Return To AEW?
“Yuji Nagata said he enjoyed his time in AEW and would like to return” Meltzer wrote. “He said Tony Khan told him that anytime he wants to come back he’s welcome.”
With the positive way in which Nagata was portrayed on screen by AEW, New Japan will likely be keen to work with them going forward. NJPW Strong producer and New Japan star Rocky Romero will be wrestling on this week’s episode of AEW Dark: Elevation.
It’s not been confirmed if Yuji Nagata will be returning to AEW anytime soon. With the current travel restrictions amid the pandemic; it’s unlikely that we’ll see many more NJPW talents appear on Dynamite that aren’t already based in the US.
