On the latest edition of his podcast Phenomenally Retro, AJ Styles said he would love for WWE to buy a wrestling company and have a presence in Japan, much like what the company had done with its AAA acquisition last year. He noted how the global juggernaut didn’t try to change the culture of the Mexican promotion, but just added their own twist to the product.
“I would love WWE to find a way to be in Japan, kind of like the way AAA is. We’re not changing what they’re doing. We’re not trying to change the culture. We’re just putting our spin on it. […] It’s not them coming to WWE, but WWE has purchased a company in Japan. Now, we have Japan, we have Mexico,” Styles said.
Adding to his comments, AJ Styles said that he wanted WWE to build stars in Japan, above and beyond the Asian talents they already had in the States. He felt that the global juggernaut could help in countless ways to revive wrestling in Japan. He also noted he would love to see the Tokyo Dome restored to its glory days.
“I don’t want them to come to RAW or SmackDown. I want them to be a WWE whatever in Japan. That’s what we need because we build our stars and just because we have stars that are Japanese doesn’t mean there can’t be some guys in Japan. We need those guys too. It’s endless things that we could do. I believe that with the help of WWE, we would be able to revive Japanese wrestling to where it was. I would love to see it back where it’s the Tokyo Dome,” Styles added. [H/T: Fightful]

AJ Styles makes a surprising revelation about AEW
AJ Styles spent 10 years with WWE since joining the global juggernaut in 2016, and retired earlier this year.
Despite being a WWE loyalist, the Phenomenal One said on his podcast Phenomenally Retro that he would never talk ill of a rival promotion like AEW.
He noted they were working equally hard to put on good shows, while trying to be different from WWE, and he respected that.
“So I will defend them because I know they’re busting their tail to put on a great show. I’m not gonna bash AEW because those guys are doing the exact same thing. Whatever they’re doing to try to be different and doing all these things. I get it. I’ve been there. So I’m not gonna do that. That’s not what I’m about. To each their own. If you like one and don’t like the other, good. But no reason to just bash because they’re different shows. I’m not gonna do that,” Styles said.
AJ Styles’ love for professional wrestling is unquestionable, and it remains to be seen if WWE will indeed go ahead and make its presence felt in Japan.
