– During the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Kyle Fletcher that the reason Aussie Open signed with AEW was for stability. Fletcher said they were happy in Japan, but they wanted a New Japan contract. They were never signed and they told New Japan they wanted to sign a contract to which NJPW replied with a “yes, but not now” type of response.
Despite how much they loved working in Japan, Fletcher says they weighed their options and discussed how much they loved the times they work in AEW stating that they enjoy the backstage environment and the people on the roster. He added that AEWs relationship to New Japan helped their decision to sign with AEW. They spoke with both AEW & New Japan who were both cool with letting Aussie Open still do stuff with New Japan.
