Rocky Romero wants future Wrestle Dynasty events to be ‘an even bigger celebration’

Rocky Romero would like for future Wrestle Dynasty events to be an even bigger celebration of all the promotions involved.

The first-ever Wrestle Dynasty took place from the Tokyo Dome on January 5. Presented by NJPW, it was a collaborative event that also featured talent from AEW, Stardom, CMLL, and ROH. The top two matches on the card were Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Ricochet and Kenny Omega vs. Gabe Kidd.

Romero holds a Vice President title in both NJPW and AEW, playing a key role backstage in addition to competing in the ring. He also helps with CMLL behind the scenes and was involved in the planning of Wrestle Dynasty.

Appearing as the guest on AEW Unrestricted this week, Romero addressed how future collaborative events like a potential second Wrestle Dynasty could be improved. Romero said he sees a lot of potential in the Wrestle Dynasty concept. He would like to see more talent involved in the future with all of the promotions getting the chance to put their best foot forward.

“I think in the future I would like to see even more of a celebration of each company,” Romero said. “We had the lucha gauntlet, but I would like to see now, like, CMLL talent going for different titles. Whether they’re AEW titles or defending CMLL titles there, which I think would be really cool and really special because we haven’t seen that in a while. Maybe [we] get a glimpse of it once a year when CMLL visits and they do Fantasticamania in Japan.

“I was glad that we had Ring of Honor involved, but I think that’s another thing that we could have. Imagine if [Chris] Jericho defended the Ring of Honor World Championship? That would be cool. You know, there’s a couple of other people that New Japan is working with. Maple Leaf Wrestling, I think that there’s something to do there with Scott D’Amore. I would like to really just make it an even bigger celebration the next time we do it. And really involve more talent and really see more use of everybody’s best foot forward or like best features, you know?”

AEW and NJPW are set to collaborate again with their annual Forbidden Door event taking place from London this summer. The date for that show is Sunday, August 24.
