If you’re WWE and you want to do your best to disrupt this “wrestler’s market,” finding a way to ice the AEW/New Japan relationship is quite a brilliant but obvious way to do it. Put talent that want to work in the position where if they want to work New Japan, they’ve got to work with an Impact or even a revived ROH. If it gets them into bidding wars with AEW, so be it. But $400 for a WWE wrestler’s US work, plus whatever they make in Japan on top of that might be comparable to the deal offered by Tony Khan in the end.

If guys REALLY want to work New Japan, force them to work for companies for smaller salaries, but if the choice is between them and the WWE, that means WWE can come at them with $600 per year and have a good shot. TK can still pay WAY more than that, but without Japan he may not have the prestige to really have those deals taken seriously. At least not in every case.
